Estimates of intronic and intergenic noise levels (95th percentiles of silent intron and intergenic regions)

95th percentile of silent intron regions for library (HS0866) is: 7.25 (log2 = 2.86)

95th percentile of silent intergenic regions for library (HS0866) is: 9.25 (log2 = 3.21)



Estimates of signal-to-noise ratio

(Average coverage of exon regions / Average coverage of silent intron regions) = 474.41

(Average coverage of exon regions / Average coverage of silent intergenic regions) = 3158.72

Distribution of gene-by-gene expression cutoff values

Histogram depicting the distribution of expression cutoff values used for each gene. In order to be considered 'expressed above background', all features (genes, transcripts, exons, junctions, etc.) must be expressed above the level of INTERGENIC noise. This INTERGENIC cutoff is the 95th percentile of expression values for all Silent Intergenic Regions in this library and is depicted below as a dotted red line. The number of genes for which only INTERGENIC noise is considered is provided in the legend. For features within the boundaries of highly expressed genes, additional noise is expected due to the presence of un-processed RNA contamination. For this reason, a higher INTRAGENIC cutoff is determined. These are calculated by fitting a linear model to the 95th percentile of expression values for silent intronic regions. The INTRAGENIC cutoff for a gene is then determined by using the gene expression level and the coefficients of the model fit. The distribution of the resulting gene-by-gene cutoffs is depicted below as a histogram. The number of genes that required an INTRAGENIC cutoff is also indicated in the legend.
