Myoepithelial cell (MY)

Ontology Term: basal-myoepithelial cell of mammary glandCL:0002324
Synonyms Terms that have the same, or nearly the same, meaning as the selected cell type.: basal cell, myoepithelial, basal myoepithelial
Category Class of which the cell type is a subclass.: mammary gland epithelial cellCL:0002327
Ontology Assessment Disagreements with any aspect of the Cell Ontology.: —
Marker Gene Evidence Gene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.: ACTA2, KRT14, KRT17, KRT5, MYLK, TAGLN
Canonical Marker Genes: ACTA2, MME, TP63, TAGLN, MYLK, OXTR, KRT5, KRT14, KRT17
Negative Marker Genes 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: This cell type was annotated based robust seperation as a single cluster and on the canonical expression of ACTA2, KRT14, KRT17, KRT5, MYLK, TAGLN.

Set of Labels Description: Cell annotations based on broad clustering using Louvain clustering and canonical gene expression. Sub clustering was interrogated and robustness of clusters were investigated within samples as well as between clusters.
Annotation Method: both
