Figure 4From: dsPIG: a tool to predict imprinted genes from the deep sequencing of whole transcriptomesEffect of imbalanced transcript levels on the posteriors of biallelically expressed genes. Solid lines stand for simulated posteriors for imprinted genes (black line) and biallelically expressed genes (non-black lines). “Randomly imbalanced” means that in each sample we randomly picked one allele to have a lower expression level than the other allele. FIC indicates “Fixed Imbalanced Coefficient”, which means one allele is always expressed at a “FIC” level of the other one in all samples. The dashed line stands for the log-transformed prior. When FIC is low enough (typically <13%), posteriors are not able to tell the difference between imprinted (solid black line) and biallelic expression (green line).Back to article page
