Each bulk RNA-seq sample required two pieces of information: fragment counts per gene and the effective length of each gene. As described above, gene counts for this paper were mostly generated using the Rail-RNA pipeline39 and effective gene lengths as the sum of unique exonic bases per gene. However, fragment counts and effective gene lengths can be calculated in any way.
