Hi Rubayte, I asked the person who originally uploaded that table, and we found some information for you:
The values deal with Shannon entropy calculations. The H value describes the overall specificity of a gene within a set of tissues, and the Q value designates the "source" of the specificity (i.e., which tissue in the set is expressed at a significantly higher level than the ubiquitous level). Here's a paper that describes the model that was used (although it's not the same data): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1088961/ If you have further questions, please contact us again at [email protected]. -- Brooke Rhead UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group On 3/30/12 11:30 AM, Rubayte Rahman wrote: > Hello, > I want to know the definition of *qVal* and *hVal* from > *gladHumESOtherData*table in > *hgFixed* database.
