The tissue specificity of human lncRNAs and protein-coding genes. The tissue specificity of 6414 lncRNAs and 17,806 protein- coding genes analyzed using RNA-seq data from the Human Protein Atlas Project [13] (Expression Atlas ID: E-MTAB-2836). a Distributions of tissue-specificity scores [11] calculated for lncRNA and protein- coding genes. b Fraction of specifically expressed genes determined to be outliers by ROKU [12]
