Correlations between liver/brain RQ ratios of amplified vs. unamplified RNAs. For each correlation, n is the number of PCR results retained after filtering the amplification efficiency [22]. The correlation coefficient (r) is shown along with its 95% confidence interval (CI). Each correlation was significant at p < 0.0001. A cross-correlation matrix showing all relationships between samples is available at http://cord.rutgers.edu/amplification/index.html
