Figure 1 Tissue-specific factors are upregulated in tissues they are specific to. Each row is a tissue; each column is a tissue-specific set; the color of a square denotes the mean expression of the transcription factor set in the tissue, with green denoting upregulation and red denoting down regulation. Page 2 of 9

Figure 2 Tissue-specific transcription factors plotted by their increase in hubness and standardized expression in tissues they are specific to. Most tissue-specific transcription factors increase in expression in tissues they are specific to, and those that increase in expression also tend to increase in hubness. Transcription factors that are essential are marked in red; the “top” transcription factors that show the largest tissue-specific increases in expression are especially likely to be members of this essential gene set (16/20 top transcription factors as compared to 115/203 transcription factors overall). For clarity, only the top TFs are labeled. Page 3 of 9

We defined 13 sets of tissue-specific genes; for all sets except for brain tissues, we used keyword search to identify genes with tissue-specific GO functions. Because of the importance of brain tissues to the analysis, we identified brain-specific genes by individually examining all 1618 GO functions and identifying 109 brain-related ones; the large number of brain genes is due to the fact that we selected genes which were highly expressed in our tissues. We provide the most common brain-related GO functions in the table above. Page 6 of 9

We include the binomial probability that each transcription factor would be linked to at least that many genes of interest by chance. Page 7 of 9
