Fig. 3
Absence of correlation between the FPKM values and the number of expressed OR. This figure is made of four Tables (2a to 2D). Table 2a for each sample, the FPKM values of the most highly expressed OR (column 1). In column 2 are the number of OR expressed at a FPKM value ≥ to 1%. Column 3 indicates the number of OR expressed with an FPKM value ≥ to 10/00 and column 4 gives the total number of detected OR (FPKM ≥ 0.1). To check whether the FPKM values to which the highest expressed OR are detected impact the number of detected OR, we compared the number of detected OR (column 2, 3 or 4) to that of the highest FPKM values [1]. As shown in plots 2b, c and d there is no correlation between the highest FPKM values and the number of expressed OR genes indicating that the low number of detected OR is a reality and might be a characteristic of dogs
