    ## Attention 1:
    ## Usually we have a certain amount of genes in our tables that have
    ## no reads at all.
    ## In these cases the duplication rate is NaN, so no points will be
    ## plotted for these. Thus the resulting plot seems to end at low
    ## expression rates.
    ## We can see from the lower percentile for which there is a point,
    ## which fraction of genes is non-expressed in the current dataset
    ##
    ## Attention 2:
    ## The global duplication rate can increase with decreasing RPKM percentiles.
