According to the supplementary tables, the mRNA concentration from FISH is poorly correlated with the concentration from RNASeq or with the protein levels. This seems inconsistent with the analyses in Figure 3. In particular, the legend of Figure 3 reports a Pearson correlation of 0.77 between each gene's mRNA FISH level and its protein level. This calculation was done "for genes that express >100 copies of proteins per cell". But when I compute the same correlation coefficient, using the data in Supplementary Table 6, I get a correlation coefficient of just 0.35. (I used the columns "Mean_RNA FISH" and "Mean_Protein", and only the rows with Mean_Protein > 100 and with a Mean_RNA FISH value.)
