Positive diagnosticity indicates that differentially expressed genes originate predominately from the analyzed cell type. Negative values are uninformative, implying that transcripts originate from other cell types or from the analyzed cell type as well as other cell types.
*Positive values imply that differentially expressed genes originate from the indicated cell type. Negative values are uninformative (transcripts originate from other cell types or from the indicated cell type as well as other cells).
†Up-regulated df = 94, down-regulated df = 350.
