How Many Genes Are Expressed in a Transcriptome? Estimation and Results for RNA-Seq.

RNA-seq experiments estimate the number of genes expressed in a transcriptome as well as their relative frequencies. However, an undetermined number of genes can remain undetected due to their low expression relative to the sample size (sequence depth). Estimation of the true number of genes express...
