RT–qPCR analysis of indicated transcripts following transfection of HEK‐293 cells with indicated siRNAs and treatment with 50 µg/ml puromycin for 4 h. Relative fold changes are in reference to vehicle‐treated, NT siRNA. Black dots represent individual data points, and error bars indicate mean ± SD (
n = 3 biological replicates). Dashed lines indicate log
2 (fold change) of ± 0.5. PTC
+ indicates the use of primers specific to transcript isoforms with validated poison exons (Lareau
et al,
2007; Ni
et al,
2007). See also Dataset
EV3 for
P‐values associated with each statistical comparison.
