8.3 Detailed gene expression analysis Summary of amplitude and R squared values for gene expression in human infants A linear modelling analysis assuming a single diurnal pattern for all infants at all weeks measured, but with a different mean level of expression for each infant, showed a highly significant diurnal rhythm with 24-hour period (p
