Role of Gene Length in Control of Human Gene Expression: Chromosome-Specific and Tissue-Specific Effects

Figure 3

Expression of all database genes in the short, midlength, and long groups. Genes with tissue-targeted expression (RPKM) are shown in black, and those with broad expression (TPM) are shown in red. Note that gene expression is higher in short compared to long genes in both populations. Note also the greater range of expression values in tissue-targeted compared to broadly expressed genes.
