An Investigation into the Rehabilitative Mechanism of Tuina in the Treatment of Sciatic Nerve Injury

Saturation curve of each sample. The abscissa is the percentage of effective comparison reads. The vertical axis is the deviation ratio between the expression and the final value (within 15%); the closer the value is to 1, the more saturated the expression is. Each color line represents the saturation curve of gene expression at different expression levels in the sample. The genes with medium or above expression level, i.e., the genes with FPKM value above 3.5, are close to saturation (the vertical axis value approaches 1) when compared with 40% of sequenced reads, indicating that the overall quality of saturation is high, and the sequencing level can cover most of the expressed genes.
