Highly variable genes (HVGs) were defined as the genes in the top two quartiles based on their squared coefficient of variation (CV^2 = variance / mean^2) calculated across all cells of each different cell-type. In this manner, we identified 21,592 HVGs for the iPSC Smart-Seq2 dataset, and 16,369 for the FPP 10X dataset.
