Depth of coverage plots for detected exons found in a non-redundant database created from the eight empirically determined human annotation tracks. This database included a total of 1,016,490 unique annotated exons. A) Depth of coverage determined from the combined set of annotation tracks by detecting the number of annotated exons with an average of 1 and 5 read coverage at every 10 million reads. As shown, the plots approach plateaus at 300 million reads, suggesting the transcriptome is nearly fully covered at this level of sequencing. B) Depth of coverage for the individual annotation tracks at 300 million reads. The lincRNA and CCDS annotation tracks have the lowest (35%) and highest (94%), respectively. On average, the other 6 annotation tracks are covered near 80%.
