[i] S, the value for specificity, was calculated as described in the text. S(M): specificity from MPSS data; S(A): specificity from SymAtlas Affymetrix data. Emax is the maximal expression value in tpm. NA: Affymetrix data not available, either because the relevant tissue was not sampled or because there was no corresponding probe set.
