Correlation of all samples after analysis.

<p>The heatmap describes the combined Pearson correlation coefficient over all pairwise correlation tests of normalized gene expression against all replicates between groups. For RNA-Seq all expression values are normalized to tpm (transcript per million), to be able to compare them. Fig. 3A and 3C show the BL2 dataset and the correlation of all samples before (A) and after (C) BAFF stimulation for each analysis tool used. <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0197162#pone.0197162.g002" target="_blank">Fig 2B and 2D</a> show the correlation of patient samples for the two groups with good prognosis of distant free metastases (good) and a bad prognosis (bad) together with the different analysis pipelines used.
