Marker Gene Evidence

Gene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.

MUSK, RYR3, CADM2, LAMA2, TRHDE, TLN2

Canonical Marker Genes

MLIP, MYBPC1, NEB, SVIL, TRDN, TTN, EGFR, MUSK, PLXDC2, RYR3

Rationale

This myonuclear cluster is enriched for NMJ-associated transcripts, co-expressing MUSK, RYR3, CADM2, LAMA2, TRHDE, TLN2, and MARCHF1, with MUSK and RYR3 particularly elevated, consistent with synaptic myonuclei.

Set of Labels Description

Cell annotations were generated with scType using marker genes curated from related publications, and then manually reviewed and adjusted based on the top highly variable genes in each Leiden cluster.
