QC metrics vary by tissue. (X-axis) Fraction of mitochondrial reads (A, B), gene complexity (C, D), and percentage of ribosomal protein genes (E, F) per cell across human tissues (Y-axis) and technologies. Various human tissue scRNA-seq datasets generated by 10X droplet-based (A, C, E) and Microwell-seq (B, D, F) technologies. Each row in a panel is a density curve with the mean represented by a blue diamond. Red lines indicate conventional threshold values set at 10% for percentage of mitochondrial reads, and 200 for gene complexity
