Plot the mean-variance relationship of transcripts as modeled in sleuth
. Each
dot represents a transcript. The blue dots represent the transcripts that
are used in the shrinkage estimation. The fitted curve represents the smooth fit.

The x-axis represents the mean expression of transcripts pooled across all samples. The y-axis represents the 'biological' variance after the technical variance has been removed.
