Genome-wide distribution of transcription rates at 27°C and 17°C. (A) Histogram to show the distribution of transcription rates, in microarray units per hour, for 7,291 genes for which half-lives and transcription rates could be calculated. (B) Functional categories based on Gene Ontology terms of the 5% of genes with fastest and slowest transcription rates, at both temperatures. (C) Pie charts to show the distribution of transcription rates for all genes analyzed, at 17°C and 27°C compared to those encoding ribosomal proteins. Data points are calculated from the mean values for each locus from three biological replicate experiments.
