Spearman's rank correlation with Bonferonni-adjusted p-values in parentheses (bold if <0.05). To mitigate potentially confounding effects of experimental covariates, correlations are performed on phenotypic residuals (ie, on the residuals after regressing out covariate effects from the rank-inverse normal transformed phenotype).
