Figure S2. Effect of batch correction on 195 samples (2 samples of the 197 were removed). Three parameters (Flowcell ID, Gender and Ethnicity) were used to remove confounding effects in edgeR. PC1 contributes the greatest amount of variance and is largely attributed to Flowcell ID, which accounts for most of the variance in sequencing experiments. (DOCX 384 kb)
