The enrichment is the number of ultra-edited ESTs from the tissue divided by the expected number, which was computed as follows. For each tissue, we calculated the ratio of the total number of ESTs in the tissue to the total number of ESTs in all tissues. The expected number of ultra-edited ESTs in a tissue is the latter ratio multiplied by the total number of ultra-edited ESTs. Enrichment of health states was similarly calculated.
