Figure 7

Statistical significance of the positive Pearson correlations between the expression levels of mRNAs in the same type Lgen MTBs. The p-values were computed by comparing the fractions of correlations more positive than the threshold t of the mRNA pairs within MTBs, as compared to (a) a background consisting of random mRNA pairs, or (b) a background consisting of mRNA pairs targeted by a common miRNA in the input interaction network but not in same MTBs. In the figures, 1E-16 represents the smallest p-value that could be outputted by our program.
