Known and novel genes are detected as specific for various biotypes. a The number of specific genes for each GTEx tissue and biotype shows that most specific genes are protein-coding. b Cumulative distribution of the mean expression of specific genes, shows that specific protein-coding genes are higher expressed compared to the other biotypes. c Cumulative distribution of the fold changes of specific genes and the 2nd tissue shows larger differences for lincRNA genes compared to other biotypes. d Examples of well-known specific genes; UPK2 for bladder, KLK3 for prostate, MUC7 for adrenal gland and AMY2A for pancreas
