System and transcript dynamics of cells infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
Fig 2
Evolution of Taylor’s law parameters along the course of infection.
(a) Taylor’s parameters, V and β, estimated in pseudotime intervals (bins) for infected cells and for the simulated datasets. (b) Taylor plots for the points in panel (a). Mitochondrial genes are shown in green. Selected nuclear genes in hBECs that generally followed an exponential distribution regardless of rank are shown in orange. Red lines correspond to an exponential distribution (β = 1 and log(V) = 0), and blue lines to a Poisson distribution (β = 0.5 and log(V) = –1.7), where log(V) = –1.7 was chosen for better visualization.
