TPM, transcripts per million.

^aExcluded from further analysis because the presence was not confirmed by real‐time polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR; see section Verification splice variants by RT‐PCR and sequencing).

^bBold and * indicate significant after adjustment to control false discovery rate at 0.05.
