RPKM (Reads per kilobase and million mappable reads):
Given 10 million mappable reads:
RPKM, Gene A: 500 reads x 1000/2000 x 106/107
500 / (2 x 10) = 25 RPKM

RPKM roughly corresponds to transcripts per cell (Mortazavi et al. 2008)

RNA-Seq data is richer than microarray data


More sensitive due to low background
More quantitative and larger dynamic range
Improved power to detect RNA isoforms
generated by alternative splicing, promoters
and polyadenylation
De novo identification of transcripts and

Cost (higher depths for RNA


isoforms still more expensive)

Significance of expression level


background RPKM ~ 0.05 RPKM
detection level of 0.3 RPKM
an average 1 500 nt transcript
20 M uniquely mapping reads
background model:
0.05 x 1.5 x 20 = 1.5 reads
expressed at 0.3 RPKM:
0.3 x 1.5 x 20 = 9 reads
binomial test for 9 reads out of 20 M mapping
to transcript given a background probability
of 1.5 / 20x109
gives a p-value of 2.8e-5

Conclusions

RNA-seq enables genome-wide transcriptome quantification with


more accurate and absolute expression estimates
Low background enables quantification of lowly expressed
transcripts (~1 copy per cell)
Investigate alternative promoters, splicing and polyadenylation,
non-coding RNAs
