Comparison of the effect of age on gene expression in T cells and monocyte samples. The correlation between age and gene expression is shown in T cells (y-axis), compared to monocytes (x-axis) from 423 individuals, including all 10,322 genes expressed in both T cells and monocytes. Color indicates genes with expression significantly associated with age (FDR < 0.01) in T cells (green, 188 genes) or monocytes (red, 383 genes), both T cells and monocytes (blue, 30 genes), or neither T cells nor monocytes (grey); association analyses were adjusted for race, sex, study site, and residual cell contamination with non-target cells.
