The number of reads mapped to the composite genome (which includes spliced ribosomal protein gene sequences) and to the unaltered human genome (hg18), and the number of reads overlapped with uniqueome (“mapped uniquely”) for both are shown. For the composite genome, the number of reads aligning to the entire composite genome and the unaltered hg18 human genome are shown.
