Your statement is true, although that is not what I meant. I meant that you’d need to perform a specific statistical test (e.g., T-test or related) to determine significance, although the difference between 9.3 and 9.8 isn’t large regardless. If you are interested in deciding which probe to use for a specific gene, [see this post.](https://community.brain-map.org/t/reproducing-r-score-correlations-in-allen-human-brain-atlas/910/4)
