RNAseq read coverage is significantly higher accross protein-coding exons compared to intergenic lncRNAs. Coverage of rat RNAseq reads on rodent conserved intergenic lncRNA exons and protein-coding exons was determined. Exons of protein-coding transcrips have significantly higher coverage than those of intergenic lncRNAs (as indicated by asterisks ***, p<0.001). In parentheses are the numbers of intergenic lncRNA and protein-coding transcripts studied.
