Table S1 presents correlation and partial correlations between SNP A/S ratios and expression parameters. Figure S1 shows an example of using Monte Carlo sampling to get the same distributions of expression breadth for different groups of proteins. Figure S2 and S3 demonstrate that for most variables in our study, the differences in A/S ratios between groups do not change qualitatively after controlling for expression breadth.
