  1. For the numbers of bead-types with detected expression in both 100% Brain and 100% UHRR reporting "X/Y" where X is the proportion of bead-types reported for the reference experiment also reported for the test experiment (e.g. a measure of sensitivity), and Y is the proportion of bead-types reported by the test experiment that were not reported by the reference experiment (e.g. FDR). So for example, taking 250 ng as a gold-standard, for this detection measure the 100 ng experiment has 86% sensitivity and an FDR of 0.08.
