  1. The symbol “ +” stands for up-regulation and “ −” for down-regulation. Numbers in the brackets stand for absolute error rates (AER) compared with qRT-PCR results. AER is calculated by |(re)/r|, where |·| stands for absolute, and r and e represent qRT-PCR and RNA-seq measurements, respectively. The last line shows the number of inconsistent regulation and the average AER for each method
