Read count filtering | Yes (i.e. > 10 in at least one tissue/organ) | Yes (i.e. > 3 in at least one tissue/organ) | NA |
Scaling | NA | NA | According to # of loci |
Pre-Normalization | NA | TPMa | TMM |
Statistical method | Non-negative Matrix Factorization | Quasi-Poisson modeling | Percentage of total mapped read counts |
Comparison | One vs All | One vs Rest | One vs All |
Post-Normalization | Of basis (W) and coefficient (H) matrices | NA | NA |
Tissue-enriched thresholding | % of total expression (i.e. 60% in more than one tissue/organ) | p-value (i.e. < 0.05) | % of total expression (i.e. > 50%) |
Tissue/organ-specific thresholding | % of total expression (i.e. > 80% in one tissue/organ) | p-value and % of expression (i.e. <0.05 and > 90%) | % of total expression (i.e. > 90%) |
