Cell Metadata

Colonocytes Early

Full Name: Early colonocytes
Closest Ontology Term: colonocyteCL:1000347
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.: colonocyteCL:1000347
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.: LEFTY1, ADH1C, SPINK5
Canonical Marker Genes: LEFTY1, SPINK5, ADH1C
Rationale: Residual developmental signaling, LEFTY1, and newly upregulated colon microenvironment related genes point to an earlier colonocyte subtype

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: algorithmic
