Comparison of correlation across cell types and donors. Each analysis was performed in the Oelen v3 dataset for all genes expressed in at least 50% of the cells of the respective cell type. a Comparing co-expression patterns across cell types within the Oelen v3 dataset for genes expressed in 50% of the cells for both cell types in each pair-wise comparison. The number of tested genes is shown in parenthesis below the Spearman correlation value. b Correlation distribution within each cell type. c Correlation between different individuals within each cell type showing the distribution of all pair-wise comparisons between individuals. d Relationship between the number of cells per individual and cell type and correlation between individuals separately for each cell type. In each subsampling step, we assessed all individuals who have at least this number of cells and subsampled to exactly this number (this leads to removal of some individuals for higher number of cells and thus, a direct comparison with the correlation values in c is not possible)
