QC metrics vary by celltype. (X-axis) Fraction of mitochondrial reads (A, B), gene complexity (C, D), and percentage of ribosomal protein genes (E, F) per cell across cell types (Y-axis) of various human tissues: kidney (A), testis (B), adipose (C), substantia nigra (D), bone marrow (E), and lung (F). All scRNA-seq data was generated using the 10X droplet-based technology. 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. Cluster numbers are indicated preceding the cell type annotation
