Characteristics of the simulated data sets. ‘Transcripts per gene’ indicates the number of alternative transcript variants simulated for a gene; ‘Events per transcript’ indicates the number of AS events simulated within one transcript; ‘Events per exons’ indicates the number of AS events which an exon can be simultaneously involved in (e.g., exon skipping and alternative splice site)
