highly significantP -value < 2.2e–16
Notably, while the in vitro and the denatured control samples slightly but significantly anticorrelated (average PCC = −0.07, Edgington-combined FDR-adjusted P -value = 3.3e–6), a moderate yet highly significant correlation was instead detected between the in vivo and the denatured control samples (average PCC = 0.18, Edgington-combined FDR-adjusted P -value < 2.2e–16).
