From: Tobacco-Related Alterations in Airway Gene Expression are Rapidly Reversed Within Weeks Following Smoking-Cessation

Figure 6

Kinetics of genes altered with smoking-cessation and functional categories. For each of the seven functional categories that are over represented among the 119 genes that change after smoking-cessation, we calculated a metagene score to summarize the behavior of the genes. The metagene score for the expression of genes in four of these functional categories substantially associated with time since smoking-cessation are shown here. Of the functional categories, genes involved in xenobiotic metabolism were altered within four weeks of smoking-cessation, while the other categories changed more gradually.
