Validation of MyoMiner by comparison to the SEEK co-expression search engine. Pearson correlation values were extracted from both MyoMiner and SEEK for each pair of a panel of 20 muscle-relevant genes (190 pairwise combinations). For MyoMiner, these were obtained for the healthy human whole muscle category (Human|Both genders|All Ages|Skeletal muscle|Normal). For SEEK, the ‘Muscle (Non-cancer)’ dataset was chosen, which combines 87 mostly muscle-related data series from several gene expression platforms. The correlation value from SEEK for a given gene pair was plotted against that from MyoMiner for the same gene pair. The 190 values from MyoMiner correlated with those from SEEK with Pearson r of 0.87
