150 human genes clustered along the horizontal
axis according to their pattern of occurrence in the literature.
Red areas indicate a peak in a gene's lifecycle, black represents
periods where a gene is not mentioned. Download

Characteristic life cycles of the genes CD4,
p53, IL2, IL3, GM2A. Annual frequencies of all genes were
standardised to the year 2000 to account for the constant
overall increase of articles per year.

Distribution of what we know about genes. The
x-axis represents the number (n) of articles per gene ("information
per gene"). The probability P(n) to find n articles about
a given gene is plotted on the y-axis and decays as a power
law, appearing as a straight line on a log-log plot. |

Lack of correlation between the degree of interaction
of proteins and their frequency in the scientific literature.
To ensure a high level of accuracy, protein interactions were
only included if confirmed independently by at least two experimental
methods: Y2H, TAP, HMS-PCI, taken from Mering et. al. The
length of time that genes are known to the scientific community
(different colours) influences the correlation positively.
