SPSS FOR BIOLOGISTS: Learn about Pearson Correlation Coefficient

SPSS FOR BIOLOGISTS:WHAT IS PEARSON CORRELATION COEFFICIENT?

The most common measure of correlation in stats is the Pearson Correlation. The full name is the Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC).It is a test statistics that measures the statistical relationship, or association, between two continuous variables and shows the linear relationship between them.

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBILITIES?
  1. A correlation coefficient of 1 means that for every positive increase in one variable, there is a positive increase of a fixed proportion in the other.
  2. A correlation coefficient of -1 means that for every positive increase in one variable, there is a negative decrease of a fixed proportion in the other.
  3. Zero means that for every increase, there isn’t a positive or negative increase.In simple words "no correlation".

AIM OF THIS TUTORIAL?
In this video, we try to explain about how to find out the correlation between different gene expressions of a patient sample.This way It is more understandable for a biologist to study the correlation between two different genes.

THANK YOU :)

PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS: ROOTED AND UNROOTED TREES

BASIC GUIDELINE TO UNDERSTAND ROOTED AND UNROOTED TREES IN PHYLOGENETICS   What is a  PHYLOGENETIC TREE? Phylogenetic trees represent hypothesis about the evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms. A phylogenetic tree may be built using morphological (body shape), biochemical, behavioral, or molecular features of species or other groups.In building a tree, we organize species into nested groups based on shared derived traits (traits different from those of the group's ancestor). HOW TO DRAW A PHYLOGENETIC TREE? In a phylogenetic tree, the species of interest are shown at the tips of the tree's branches. The branches themselves connect up in a way that represents the evolutionary history of the species that is, how we think they evolved from a common ancestor through a series of divergence (splitting-in-two) events.For more details watch the video below: THANK YOU
