* *quants\_tier\_mat.gz* -- Tier categorization of the matrix.

.. note:: Working with R packages
Alevin generates multiple metadata files like the hash codes of the reference transcriptome and it's crucial for working with downstream R package like `_tximeta <https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/tximeta.html>`. Hence along with the above files, it's advisable to keep the complete output folder generated by alevin.

Along with the Cell-v-Gene count matrix, alevin dumps a 3-fold categorization of each estimated count value of a gene(each cell disjointly) in the form of tiers. Tier 1 is the set of genes where all the reads are uniquely mapping. Tier 2 is genes that have ambiguously mapping reads, but connected to unique read evidence as well, that can be used by the EM to resolve the multimapping reads. Tier 3 is the genes that have no unique evidence and the read counts are, therefore, distributed between these genes according to an uninformative prior.
