Table 1 Spearman correlation between PCR measured fold change /EST enrichment score and significance of differentiation for MAQC/SEQC analysis

Spearman correlation	Our method	DEseq	eBayes	Fisher	Stouffer^c	Rankprod
Taqman PCR^a	0.872	0.761	0.714	0.765	-	0.730
EST enrichment score^b	0.276	0.111	0.169	0.106	0.201	0.281

^aCorrelation is calculated based on the 836 genes that are validated by Taqman PCR
^bCorrelation is calculated based on 118 brain specific genes obtained from TiGER database
^cCorrelation is not computed for Stouffer method as it generates many p-values at 0
