The total number of genes, excluding those with low expression (RPKM <0.2), that overlap with m⁶A sites in at least one of the two datasets ('expressed genes with m⁶A') is shown for both human and mouse. The overlap between the two datasets ('common genes'), as a proportion of the total number of expressed genes with m⁶A, is much higher than the proportion shown in Table 2.
