Genes expected to be absent, or expressed at a notably low level, in these cells, and whose absence supports the assignment of this cell annotation.
—
Rationale
Annotated based on the listed marker genes as canonical small cholangiocytes, but these cells had higher expression of keratin genes compared to 'Small ApoLipo' cells.

Set of Labels Description
HLiCA classifies cells into six lineages and 47 distinct cell types. Rigorous benchmarking ensured robust integration across technical and biological variables. Expanded annotations allowed identification of previously undetected liver cell types. As the largest human liver cell atlas, HLiCA serves as a genetically diverse, well-annotated reference.
