Transcriptome analysis of human tissues and cell lines reveals one dominant transcript per gene

Table 1 Major transcripts tend to be predominantly expressed.

	Expressed genes		Genes with a dominant major transcript
			Two-fold dominance		Five-fold dominance
1 FPKM	10,410	56.42%	8,179	78.51%	5,864	56.22%
5 FPKM	4,671	25.32%	3,898	83.64%	3,077	66.27%
10 FPKM	2,486	13.47%	2,146	86.54%	1,794	72.60%

Average number of genes with dominant major transcripts detected in the primary tissues dataset. Different dominance ratios and gene expression thresholds were considered in the quantification.
