Arguments

object

Object.

Value

ggplot.

Details

It is common to see a small amount of bias, especially if polyA enrichment was performed, or if there is any sample degradation. If a large amount of bias is observed here, be sure to analyze the samples with a Bioanalyzer and check the RIN scores.

5' (3') bias is generally calculated as the median of the following ratio:

[mean expression of 5' (3')] /
[mean expression of whole transcript]

For example:

  • Mean expression for 5' (3') is calculated as mean coverage of first (last) 100 bases.

  • Mean expression of transcript is the mean coverage of all bases in that transcript.

  • Median is calculated for the representative set of 1000 transcripts.
