[_Extracting a Biologically Relevant Latent Space from Cancer Transcriptomes with Variational Autoencoders_](http://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/08/11/174474).

**NOTE:** As discovered by @enricoferrero, the preprint text (`section 2.2`) states
that the top _median_ absolute deviation (MAD) genes were selected for subsetting,
when the data processing code
([`process_data.ipynb`](https://github.com/greenelab/tybalt/blob/master/process_data.ipynb))

and its potential impact in [issue #99](https://github.com/greenelab/tybalt/issues/99).
