Re: positively correlated genes

Can I please ask how to interpret this results? Im used to Spearman/Pearson correlations and don't quite know how to present or explain the results obtained this way.

I wanted to find genes correlating with gene X. Then I got about 6000 significant genes at p < 0.05. Some with negative some with positive log2FC.

Now, what do I do? What does this tell me?


Thank you!

If you are using edgeR's glmFit function or limma's voom and lmFit
functions, you can simply add the log-expression values of the gene of
interest as a column of the design matrix.  Then a standard DE analysis
will detect any other genes that are significantly correlated with the
gene of interest.
