Significance was calculated by randomly shuffling expression values between gene loci for each chromosome. The second column gives the probability of chance alignment between gene expression peaks and nucleolar/genomic troughs, derived by comparing the actual alignment with random shuffles. When the actual alignment was outside the random distribution, the probability was estimated from a Gaussian distribution with the same mean and SD as in the random distribution. The third and fourth columns give the Gaussian Z-score and the corresponding probability. —, not.
