MOESM1 of Comparison of blood RNA isolation methods from samples stabilized in Tempus tubes and stored at a large human biobank

Additional file 1. Target abundance of RNA transcripts. Evaluation of target abundance; i.e., whether low abundant RNA transcripts (RNA transcripts with Cq-values above 30 cycles) could be detected in blood-RNA samples isolated using the five blood-RNA isolation protocols. Low abundant mRNA and miRNA transcripts were detected in all analyzed samples. The average of non-normalized raw Cq-values of all targets from all adult (n=11-12 Tempus tubes) and cord blood (n=3-6 Tempus tubes) samples collected in the Tempus tubes of the blood-RNA samples isolated using the five RNA isolation protocols
