Absorptive TA
Full Name
- Transiently amplifying cells with predominant absorptive signature
Closest Ontology Term
- transit amplifying cellCL:0009010
Synonyms
Terms that have the same, or nearly the same, meaning as the selected cell type.- unknown
Category
Class of which the cell type is a subclass.- transit amplifying cellCL:0009010
Ontology Assessment
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.- NOTCH1, EDN1
Rationale
- NOTCH1 and low expression of absorptive markers such as FABP or ALDOB show an early bias towards absorptive lineage
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
- Annotation Method
