Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) has been used for quantitative analysis of gene expression. We applied cluster analysis on multiple SAGE libraries derived from premalignant epidermal tissue (actinic keratosis), normal human epidermis, and cultured keratinocytes. The samples were obtained from skin biopsies without contamination by dermal tissue or blood. A total of 60,000 transcripts (tags) were analyzed. Two-way cluster analysis was applied to both the transcripts and the tissues, resulting in separation of the cultured cells from the epidermal samples, and clustering of many, presumably coregulated, genes. Two clusters of genes, strongly up-regulated in the tumor tissue compared with normal epidermis, were investigated in more detail. The differential expression of genes could be confirmed in actinic keratosis from four patients. Several of these genes have been previously associated with carcinogenesis or are likely to be important on the basis of their presumed function. Automated literature search tools show that a subgroup of these genes is coexpressed in other tissues and is part of an epidermal differentiation gene cluster on chromosome 1q21. We conclude that cluster analysis on large data sets uncovers clear partitions and correlations that could be confirmed by independent methods. We predict that these partitions will lead to biological interpretations that can be relevant for understanding the processes of carcinogenesis and tumor progression.
