Genome-Wide Discovery of Long Non-Coding RNAs in Rainbow Trout
Fig 4
RPKM comparison of protein-coding genes and lncRNAs.
Transcript abundance of lncRNAs is lower than that of protein-coding genes. Average RPKM of the most abundant 40,000 genes is 15.69 and 3.49 for protein coding genes and LncRNAs, respectively (Left). Number of tissue-specific lncRNAs and protein-coding genes in various tissues. Expression of lncRNAs and protein-coding genes showed similar patterns among different tissues (Right).
