Additional file 1:

PCM rank list of fission yeast genes. The spreadsheet provides the genome-wide rank of fission yeast genes due to Phase-Coupled Meta-analysis (PCM). It also shows whether a gene was reported by Oliva et al. or Marguerat et al. as periodic, its median phase over all experiments and its circular variance, and to which cluster due to Oliva et al. it belongs. The last field also indicates membership in the new Cribo cluster.

Supplementary figures. Fig. S1 plots the distribution of cell cycle phases for genes from the PCM rank-list. Fig. S2 plots the genome-wide distribution of the circular variance of every gene's phases across experiments.
