This pipeline attempts to calculate the pearson correlation between APOBEC_MutLoad_MinEstimate and mRnaseq data of each gene across samples to determine if the APOBEC_MutLoad_MinEstimate also result in differential expressions.
The correlation coefficients in 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 percentiles are -0.08786, -0.0564, -0.0343, -0.01464, 0.0046, 0.02354, 0.0445, 0.0688, 0.1022, respectively.
Number of samples used for the calculation are shown in Table 1. Figure 1 shows the distribution of calculated correlation coefficients and quantile-quantile plot of the calculated correlation coefficients against a normal distribution. Table 2 shows the top 20 genes ordered by the value of correlation coefficients.

Figure 1. Summary figures. Left: histogram showing the distribution of the calculated correlations across samples for all Genes. Right: QQ plot of the calculated correlations across samples. The QQ plot is used to plot the quantiles of the calculated correlation coefficients against that derived from a normal distribution. Points deviating from the blue line indicate deviation from normality.

Gene level (TCGA Level III) mRNAseq expression data and APOBEC_MutLoad_MinEstimate derived by Mutation_APOBEC pipeline were used to do this analysis. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated for APOBEC_MutLoad_MinEstimate and each gene across all the samples that were common.
Pearson correlation with pairwise.complete.obs was used to do this analysis.
