Comparison of spearman and distance correlation coefficients across infection conditions: This bar graph displays the Spearman and Distance correlation coefficients for 16 different viral infection conditions at two time points (24 and 72 h) with and without UV treatment, alongside controls. The graph emphasizes the consistently high correlation between RNA-Seq and NanoString platforms, demonstrating their robustness in capturing gene expression dynamics within the 3D airway OTE model. Correlation values range from 0.86 to 0.90 for Spearman and 0.86 to 0.88 for Distance correlation, highlighting the strong agreement across varying experimental conditions.
