Histogram from Scientific Research

Distributions of Pearson’s r coefficient following 100,000 permutations to measure the significance of correlation between effect estimates of HLA amino acids pruned by LD comparing responses against PT and against the pertussis GWAS. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated after relabeling of the pertussis GWAS variants generating the null distribution. The correlation coefficients determined using the true datasets are represented with a vertical arrow.
