Set of Labels Description

This cell annotation dataset focuses on the human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and choroid, which are essential for the survival and proper function of the neural retina in the human eye. Using single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), we analyzed over 566K nuclei from 53 donors.
