Fig. 2
Tissue specificity of human adipose lncRNAs. a Relative abundance of 14 383 adipose-expressed mRNAs (rows, left panel) and 3149 lncRNAs (rows, right panel) across 22 examined tissues (columns). Color density represents the fractional expression of each lncRNA in each tissue relative to all examined tissues. b Percentage of tissue-specific lncRNAs and mRNAs under varying thresholds of fractional expression (step size 0.05). Tissue-specific transcripts in any of the 22 tissues were considered in this analysis. c Percentage of adipose-specific (BAT, oWAT, or sWAT) lncRNAs and mRNAs under varying thresholds of fractional expression (step size 0.05). Tissue-specific transcripts in any of the three adipose tissues were considered in the analysis. d Number of adipose-specific lncRNA and mRNA at varying thresholds. Tissue-specific transcripts for any of the three adipose tissues were considered in the analysis
