  1. Table lists one-tailed Wilcoxon rank-sum test P values and associated (one-tailed) AUCs, testing whether entropy is higher in the pluripotent or multipotent cells compared to the less potent cells in various scRNA-Seq and bulk RNA-Seq data sets. In Chu1, the comparison is between pluripotent (hESCs, n=374, Pl) and non-pluripotent (n=644, NonPl) single cells. In Chu2, the comparison is between hESCs (0 h, n=92) and definite endoderm progenitors sampled 96 h later (n=188). In Trapnell, the comparison is between human myoblasts (0 h, n=96) and differentiated skeletal muscle cells (72 h, n=84). In Treutlein, the comparison is between early lung progenitors (E14, n=45) and mature alveolar cells (n=46). In Chu3, the comparison is between bulk hESCs (n=7) and non-pluripotent samples (n=12). In bold-face we indicate the highest or relatively highest AUC values.
