Correlation between gene expression and protein stability. (a) Spearman's rank correlation rho between gene expression from each of the 79 human tissues and protein stability, and corresponding p-values (-log₁₀(p-values)) for the correlation coefficients. (b) Distribution of the average protein stability indices, which were obtained from comparing gene expression in each of the 79 human tissues, for 5 mRNA expression groups with increasing expression values from the group [1,20] to the group (81,100]. (c) Distribution of the average mRNA expression values in the 79 human tissues for 5 protein stability groups with increasing protein stability index from the group [1,20] to the group (81,100]. Exp: mRNA expression; PSI: protein stability. Index.
