Fig. 3: Predictable genes in the GTEx datasets.

a Numbers of predictable genes of MTWAS, UTMOST, PrediXcan, and TIGAR in the 47 tissues, under the threshold FDR < 0.05. Tissues are arranged in descending order of their respective sample sizes. b Comparison between numbers of genes with prediction R2 > 0.01 for MTWAS and PrediXcan in muscle skeletal, which has the largest sample size among the GTEx datasets. c Comparison between numbers of genes with prediction R2 > 0.01 for MTWAS and PrediXcan in uterus, which has the smallest sample size among the GTEx datasets. Purple and green dots represent genes that have prediction R2 > 0.01 only for MTWAS and PrediXcan, respectively. Darker and shallower gray dots represent genes that consistently have prediction R2 > 0.01 and R2 ≤ 0.01, respectively, using both methods. Nobs is the sample size.
