Cassette exon inclusion is represented as a ratio of expression
for transcripts which include a specific exon
to all those transcripts which could have possibly included it.
Numerators and denominators of these ratios are stored in a tab-separated format (TSV) table
in order to still enable TPM-based filtering
Each row in the expression table represents a single cassette exon. The first column
specifies exon coordinates in a BED format.
Each of the next columns stores TPM values for
specific RNA-Seq samples. Columns with numerators of the inclusion fraction ratios are
denoted with an "_included" suffix whereas denominators are marked with "_total".
Please see the scheme below:
