Fasta file

The file Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.cdna.all.1.1.10M.fa.gz was downloaded from the ARMOR repository at https://github.com/csoneson/ARMOR/blob/master/example_data/reference/Ensembl.GRCh38.93/Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.cdna.all.1.1.10M.fa.gz.

STAR-salmon folder

The equivalence classes (eq_classes.txt) and transcript estimated counts (quant.sf) were obtained by aligning the paired-ended reads from the ARMOR repository with STAR and checking the transcripts compatible with each alignment via salmon.

The reads were downloaded from https://github.com/csoneson/ARMOR/tree/master/example_data/FASTQ.

kallisto folder

The equivalence classes (pseudoalignments.ec) and respective counts counts (pseudoalignments.tsv) were obtained by aligning the paired-ended reads from the ARMOR repository with kallisto.
