Marker Gene Evidence
Gene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.- VWF, CLDN5, PECAM1
Rationale
- Based on PECAM1, PLVAP, and CLDN5 expression, these are endothelial cells, but compared to other endothelial clusters, these are high for mitochondrial and housekeeping genes - they seem to be a lower quality cluster of cells which is why we give them a lower resolution annotation
Inherited from celltype
- Set of Labels Description
- In this paper we used an automated iterative subclustering algorithm to find hundreds of cell state clusters, after which we merged unsupported clusters and annotated each resulting cluster with a better-known cell subtype. The high-res cell state clusters are annotated as subtype.gene1.gene2, so in some cases we didn't directly name some commonly named subtypes, such as pericytes. When we run DE on the resulting subtypes, we find many canonical and scRNA-suggested marker genes.
