IsoPct #154

Closed mhjiang97 closed 3 years ago

Hi,

I'd like to know how the column IsoPct in isoforms.results is calculated. Does it represent column FPKM in isoforms.results divided by the same column in genes.results?

Thank you, Minghao

Hi Minghao,

It is the the relative abundance of the isoform (TPM) divided by the relative abundance of its gene (TPM). Within a sample, FPKM is proportional to TPM, so your interpretation is correct as well.
