  1. Both first lines are the number of sequenced PE reads in million(s), and number of PE reads kept after mapping and gene association. Detected genes are the number of genes with a1 PE or more. The last line is the number of genes in common between 17446 genes detected with 5 ng compared to the other samples. The raw counts are already rid of rRNA reads, 3–6% have been removed for each sample
