Researchers developed this wreath-like graph to visualize all the genes being expressed by the cyanobacterium Cyanothece over a 24-hour period. The graphic revealed the complex genetic network that enables Cyanothece to switch its cell between photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation as the day turns to night.
