The complexity of gene expression dynamics revealed by permutation entropy

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>High complexity is considered a hallmark of living systems. Here we investigate the complexity of temporal gene expression patterns using the concept of Permutation Entropy (PE) first introduced in dynamical systems theory. The analy...
