Figure 5From: Next-generation pyrosequencing of gonad transcriptomes in the polyploid lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens): the relative merits of normalization and rarefaction in gene discoveryRarefaction curves illustrating gene discovery (number of genes) as a function of effort (number of sequencing reads). (a) Rarefaction analysis comparing empirical gene discovery between normalized and native libraries. (b) Rarefaction analysis comparing simulated gene discovery between normalized and native libraries.Back to article page
