Inspecting the time series plots to the left of the colored matrix, we can see that genes with similar temporal expression profiles are clustered together based on their 2829-long feature vector representations. Thus, these feature-based representations provide a meaningful representation of these short time series. Further, while these 2829-long feature vectors are shorter than those that can be computed from longer time series, they still constitute a highly comprehensive representation that can be used as the starting point to obtain interpretable understanding in addressing specific domain questions.
