Correlation of gene expression between transcriptomes of human urinary extracellular vesicles and a human kidney cortex, or a human kidney cortex and a second human kidney cortex sample. A and B, Correlation for highly kidney-enriched genes; (C and D), correlation for ubiquitously expressed (housekeeping) genes. E, Correlation coefficients of gene expression between transcriptomes of human urinary extracellular vesicles and of a series of kidney (top) and brain and bladder samples (lower 2 rows, respectively, as a control). Correlations are calculated as Spearman ρ.
