Clustering heat-maps and pair-wise correlations for equivalent samples. The pair-wise correlations between equivalent samples are shown within A) low abundance stratum: The low abundance miRs have a low correlation coefficient (range: 0.16-0.31) regardless of the concentration and dilution factor used. B) medium abundance stratum, showing higher correlation coefficients (range: 0.75-0.86) compared to the low abundance stratum. C) high abundance stratum: In this stratum we detect the highest correlation coefficients (range: 0.98-0.99) between samples. Note that the scales are different for each abundance stratum, reflecting the respective correlation coefficients.
