     This data set describes the temporal expression of 1444 genes
     (open reading frames) in the cell cycle of the bacterium
     _Caulobacter crescentus_.

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     'caulobacter' is a 'longitudinal' object containing the data from
     the Laub et al. (2000) experiment. Essentially, this is a matrix
     with with 1444 columns (=genes) and 11 rows (=time points)
