Figure 1:
An example of a cartoon version of a locus we used in the survey to
understand opinions across the scientific community on different options
for choosing one transcript. These are the transcript scenarios
presented for questions 2a (top panel) and 2b (bottom panel). For
question 2a, and for question 2b, we asked respondents to choose either
the first longer coding transcript, or the second more abundant (but
shorter) one as a primary transcript. For both questions, the more
abundant one (indicated by the blue arrow) was the most popular
transcript choice for the non-clinical community (75%; 68%). However,
there was no clear preference for this one (indicated by the blue arrow)
from the clinical respondents (54%; 46%).
