QC plot for scRNA-seq: mitochondrial vs. spliced %

Hi, I saw this plot mentioned in a twitter thread here: https://twitter.com/willmacnair/status/1654027178437115904?t=QgN3GxjmWzvjJJPVLfj1BA&s=03

The rationale is that cells with high % of mitochondrial and spliced reads are only coming from cytoplasm of other broken cells and is thus noise. Might be interesting for the QC notebook of scRNAseq.
