Table 2.
tissue | total number of assembly contigs expressed | tissue specific contigs (number with τ ≥ 0.8) |
---|---|---|
brain | 51,411 | 4,277 (212) |
heart | 58,988 | 939 (219) |
kidney | 44,367 | 2,223 (90) |
liver | 60,284 | 905 (89) |
muscle | 57,568 | 1,460 (221) |
pancreas | 58,098 | 1,441 (265) |
skin | 53,977 | 2,859 (746) |
testes | 44,463 | 5,980 (606) |
total tissue specific contigs | 20,084 (2,448) |
Note that relatively few contigs were expressed at very high level in only one tissue (i.e. τ ≥ 0.8), the mean number of reads was 6 for contigs with τ < 0.8 and 25 for contigs with τ ≥ 0.8
