Fig. 1: Relationship between expression of trans genes and trans MIRNAs in each distal aneuploidy comparison.

Fig. 1

Each data point represents one comparison out of all distal aneuploids assayed. Medians of trans miRNA ratios were computed as in Supplementary Data 5. a Medians of trans miRNA ratios. The x-axis refers to the median of trans miRNA ratios, while the y-axis represents the chromosomal dosage in each comparison. Data points that belong to two clusters produced by the k-means clustering algorithm were painted in different colors. b–d Medians of ratios of trans miRNAs and trans genes in each comparison were plotted on the x- and y-axes, respectively. Medians of trans gene ratios were computed in previous studies34,35. R Pearson correlation coefficient; P P value for Pearson correlation (two-sided; confidence intervals, 95%; no adjustment made for multiple comparisons). Data points with x- and y-axis values exceeding two SDs from the mean are considered outliers, and thus are excluded from the analysis. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
