Disagreements with any aspect of the Cell Ontology.
Since absorptive epithelial cells lay on a continuum, it's not clear if or how we should have subdivisions of epithelial subtypes. We argue it could be useful for high-res compositional analysis to have some type of subdivision.
Marker Gene Evidence
Gene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.
We found a common subcluster of hypothetically basement membrane laminin producing specialized colonocytes which we separate as an outgroup here based on multiple basement membrane scaffold proteins, LAMA and MUC17
Inherited from Prelim annotation
Set of Labels Description
Cell annotations (Prelim annotation) are based on the finest possible label that could be used to describe each of the ~500 clusters found during integration and subclustering
