[QC PART 4] Add notebook exploring lowly expressed genes #18

_I'm breaking up the files from jaclyn-taroni/qc_viz into smaller PRs. (That branch will be retained for posterity.)_

We observed some differences between platforms (#17). It could be the case that genes that are often zero in RNA-seq data tend to be lowly expressed (and therefore will have low average expression values on microarrays) and this may contribute to the difference. This notebook explores this notion of lowly expressed genes. We observed a pattern that is consistent with what we stated above.
