Figure 2. Transcriptional module identification: discretization and alphabet transformation.

Figure 2

Illustrative example of discretization and alphabet transformation for a time series gene expression matrix: (left) original expression matrix M'; (center) discretized matrix M, obtained by applying a discretization based on transitions between time points to the original matrix M' using a three-symbol alphabet Inline graphic [28]; and (right) matrix M after the alphabet transformation that appends the column number to every symbol in the matrix.
