Spearman correlation coefficient between colon cell lines and intestinal biopsy samples

The correlation matrix was calculated on the basis of the averaged ΔCt of two technical replicates for colon cell lines and three biological replicates for intestinal biopsies. The numbers are the pairwise Spearman correlation coefficient (rs) values that represent the strengths of the linear relationship between any two sets of comparative components (rs = 0, no correlation; rs = 1, perfect correlation).
