11 Improving RNA-Seq expression estimates by correcting for fragment bias 11 Supplementary Figure S4 Normalized NanoString Count R 2 = Cufflinks FPKM We compared our expression estimates to NanoString on a set of 95 genes, where for each gene we performed a NanoString experiment (see Methods). Although the overall correlation was good (R 2 = 0.77), we could not explain a number of outliers (circled), and we also did not find an improvement in correlation when correcting for bias (in contrast to the case with qrt-pcr that we elaborate on in the main text and all other validations we attempted). Furthermore, we noticed high variance between replicates (see Data). We report these data because of its value in assessing expression accuracy in conjunction with previously generated data reported in Trapnell et al
