Pearson’s correlations are ‘raw’ values (not Fisher transformed); z scores are computed relative to the mean and s.d. of an empirical null distribution (based on 10,000 permutations), estimated with a Gaussian fit (one-tailed test); P values across the 52 experiments are corrected for multiple comparisons using FDR; Confidence intervals are empirically estimated based on 10,000 bootstrap re-samples of the data.
