Major non-coding transcripts in protein coding genes. (a) Proportion of the mRNA studied represented by different categories of transcripts. Average proportions were calculated including all the samples from each dataset. Major non-coding transcripts are more abundant in nucleus, where the proportion of major coding ones also becomes reduced. (b) Transcript biotype categories for the major non-coding transcripts. Average proportions were calculated including all the samples from each dataset. Processed transcripts are more abundant in the cytosol, while retained introns represent the major fraction in the nucleus. Other minor categories that represented <1% of the transcripts were also identified, but are not visible in the plots.
