  • Pearson coefficient is calculated as Formula, where x and y are the logarithms of expression levels of the two genes, i indexes the cell, and the bar indicates average. r close to 1 signifies strong positive correlation, while a value close to zero means no correlation. Negative r value would be anti-correlation.
