The Spellman dataset provides the gene expression data measured (on a custom platform) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell cultures that have been synchronized at different points of the cell cycle by using a temperature-sensitive mutation (cdc15-2), which arrestes cells late in mitosis at the restrictive temperature (it can cause heat-shock).
