From: Short paired-end reads trump long single-end reads for expression analysis
Spearman’s rank correlations for RSEM-derived transcripts per million (TPM) between the gold standard paired-end 2 × 125 strategy and alternative strategies. Violin plots of (a) transcript and (b) gene-level inference. Comparison of correlations with 2 × 125 between 2 × 40 and 1 × 75 for (c) transcript and (d) genes, and between 2 × 40 and 1 × 125 for (e) transcript and (f) genes. For c-f, symbol colors correspond to SRA accessions, and points above the red dotted line are samples where estimates of expression from 2 × 40 is more highly correlated with the gold standard than the contrasted single-end strategy
