Additional data file 1:

Table S1 shows the number of genes identified as expressed at each stage in wild-type (N2) and smg-1(r861) worms. Table S2 shows the transfrag distribution at each developmental stage. Table S3 shows numbers of reads from sequencing and mapping statistics. Table S4 shows the number of tiling array transfrags confirmed by sequencing. Table S5 shows the overlap of genes detected between our data and that from Hillier et al. [17]. Table S6 shows the number of transfrags identified using tiling data, and the number of these also detected by either our sequence data or the Hillier et al. sequence data. Table S7 indicates the average ratio of expression for the families of splicing factors between the mutant and wild type at each of the time points based on both tiling and sequencing. Table S8 shows the list of 132 hand-curated splice factors.
