Multi-modal genes

Multi-modal genes are ones with multi-modal expression patterns (i.e. expression of discretized states) or multi-modal patterns. For each probeset, CNS regions were grouped into the several "states" according to their expression values with variational Bayesian inference to fit to a gaussian mixture model. Multi-modal genes, which have two or more states (bimodal or multi-modal), were shown in the list. Unimodal genes, which have only one state, were not shown in this view.

States of multi-modal genes

According to the order of mean values of every states, "on"-, "off"-, "up"-, and "down"-states are defined. "on"-state has regions in the state with the maximum mean expression value, "off"-state has regions in the state with the minimum mean expression value, "up"-state has regions both in "on"- and middle-states, and "down"-state has regions both in "off"- and middle-states.
