Fig. 2From: Combination of novel and public RNA-seq datasets to generate an mRNA expression atlas for the domestic chickenRandomly down-sampling RNA-seq reads has minimal impact on the overall expression profile, primarily affecting expression level estimates of lowly expressed genes. Data shown is from one dataset – unchallenged BMDMs from an adult female broiler (Ross 308) – although with quantitatively similar findings from other samples. The figure plots the average TPM per gene, taken after 100 random samples of 10 million reads, against the TPM obtained in each sample. The line y = x is shown in redBack to article page
