Consensus tissue tree of tissues from human and mouse data. Trees are the consensus of trees created from 5,000 random samples of sets of 1,000 genes from (a) 3,768 (human) or (b) 1,786 (mouse) genes with Qg|t≤ 7 bits in at least one tissue. The length of the line leading into a node indicates how many trees did not include the set of tissues to the right of the node. The shortest lines correspond to unanimous subgroups. We have highlighted all maximal subgroups that occurred in at least half of the sampled trees. The nervous system is indicated in red, immune system in blue, reproductive tissue in yellow, digestive organs in purple and magenta, muscle tissue in cyan, and glandular tissue in brown. All maximal subgroups that occurred in at least half of the sampled trees. The tissues not included in a highlighted subgroup typically have statistically significant overlap with many of the highlighted tissues as estimated using the hypergeometric distribution.
