 The `--uniq` (or `-u`) command line flag allows reporting of genome coverage statistics for uniquely mapped reads too.
 
+## RNA-seq statistics
+
+The RNA-seq statistics follow [IHEC reccomendations for RNA-seq data quality metrics](https://github.com/IHEC/ihec-assay-standards/blob/199ec96b668114a90e39d3351358996287950dd1/qc_metrics/rna-seq/metrics.pdf). They include counts for the following regions:
+
+- intergenic (different from [coverage stats](#genome-coverage-statistics))
+- ribosomal RNA (`rRNA`)
+
+As long as other fractional metrics for the following read types:
+
+- mapped
+- intergenic
+- rRNA
+- duplicates
