HK = housekeeping, TS = tissue specific. The values between parentheses represent the percentage over the entire set of transcripts for the given species. For human and fruit fly: unsupervised discretisation (with equal frequency binning) + AODE algorithm for classification; for mouse: supervised discretisation + classic Naive Bayes algorithm for classification.
