The percentages of expressed mRNAs (blue) and lncRNAs (orange) that are associated with ribosomes across multiple tissues or cell types. For the human datasets, 94.73–99.51% of mRNAs and 24.65–59.92% of lncRNAs were associated with ribosomes. For the mouse datasets, 95.99–99.42% of mRNAs and 26.04–70.13% of lncRNAs were associated with ribosomes. In summary, 7153 and 3577 lncRNAs were identified to be associated with ribosomes in at least one dataset. The ribosome association was defined based on ribosome density (see “Methods”). The number of expressed mRNAs or lncRNAs is shown in each bar
