[i] We show the Sn for identified TSSs in comparison with the FP rate for non-TSS regions and general gene regions: athe unlikely region defined as the rest of the gene starting 51 bases downstream from its annotated TSS; bthe general gene region, spanning from half the distance to the previous and next annotated genes including the annotated TSS (taken from the std3 annotation).
