Results from gravity-responsive chromosomal region (GRCR) analysis: average expected correlation coefficient and first standard deviation (blue, error bars) vs. actual Spearman correlation coefficient (red) of selected comparisons. Results are grouped into those where the transcriptional effects emerged from different gravity conditions and those that did not. The relative difference is indicated in standard deviations at the bottom of the columns. Significantly different samples with inter-experiment correlation coefficients of >2σ are indicated with *, and highly significantly different samples with inter-experiment correlation coefficients of >3σ are indicated with **. The larger the relative and absolute difference in correlation strength between the expected and the actual dataset, the more a comparison deviates from the average distribution differential gene expression. Below, the percentage of genes that are shared between the two compared differential expression sets out of all genes that contribute to the averaging bins are listed. The strongest absolute and relative difference in correlation can be observed for inter-experiment comparisons for altered gravity contrasts, which also share the smallest number of genes.
