lCross-modal
correlations: From mRNA to to anatomy and to behavior and pharmacology
Another example, but in
this case we are generating correlations between variation in transcript
levels with a database of approximately 430 published (and unpublished)
phenotypes from BXD strains. Notice that the N of strains is variable (from
21 to 28 above). Rank order statistics is more appropriate when N is under
30.
The Published
Phenotypes database was prepared by Elissa Chesler and Robert Williams from
data extracted from the literature or sent to us for inclusion by our
colleagues. We especially thank John Crabbe (Oregon HSU) and Byron Jones
(Pennsylvania SU) for providing us with large pre-compiled data tables.
