I've noticed it's becoming increasingly common in genomics to report results of regressions with ridiculously low correlation as 'significant' based on a tiny p-value (for the hypothesis that the slope = 0).

Can you guess R^2, the p-value, and where the data below was published?

Lior Pachter Repeat with me: 'least square fits work on the assumption you chose the correct function to fit, and will spit out a result even when you didn't'.
