Figure 1.

Transcript and protein expression in platelets is correlated. (A) The percentage of transcripts where the coordinate protein is detected is plotted for each threshold of transcript expression. (B) Scatter plot comparing log-adjusted transcript expression (x-axis) with log-adjusted protein expression (y-axis) for all proteins with an ID match to a transcript. For visual simplicity, transcripts or proteins below the arbitrary background threshold (0.3 RPKM or 500 count, respectively) were adjusted to the threshold. Values were left unadjusted for the correlation analysis described in the text.
