The effects of different mappabality between species on estimating inter-species gene expression differences. Inter-species gene expression differences estimated by RNA-seq were plotted against inter-species differences estimated by microarray, using WGA annotation (a, b) and POED annotation (c, d). The inter-species differences were calculated as log2 fold change of RPKM (RNA-seq) or intensity (microarray). The rug plots along x and y axes show the distribution of interspecies differences estimated by microarray and RNA-seq, respectively. DIM genes (red) and genes without simulated reads mapped (green) show larger inter-species variation in RNA-seq than in microarray. (a, c) Comparison between human and chimpanzee (HC). (b, d) Comparison between human and rhesus macaque (HM).
