Number of transcriptional loci identified. Additional table showing the number of different active transcriptional loci identified in the same cell sample by either SAGE or MPSS according the method described in the text when various alternative parameters are used.

Additional file 3:

Comparisons of tag abundance distributions for LongSAGE tags from the activated CD4+ T-cell library matching UTBS transcripts according to whether the transcripts are also detected by MPSS. Additional figure comparing the apparent frequency distributions of transcripts from known genes according to whether their corresponding tags were found by SAGE and MPSS or exclusively by one of these techniques in order to demonstrate that transcripts detected only by SAGE did not represent a fixed level of genomic contamination.
