Figure Lengend Snippet: A, UMAP visualization of 7,122 individual Myeloid cells from eleven individual primary thawed mononuclear bone marrow samples taken from healthy donors and B-ALL patients. B, Six transcriptionally distinct Myeloid cell clusters overlaid on the UMAP representation. Cluster abbreviations, for example, HD-M1 is based on Healthy/Diagnosis Myeloid cluster L C, Relative expression of top Myeloid cluster-specific marker genes. D, Expression levels of CD14, FCGR3A and CSF1R in the Myeloid cells overlaid on the UMAP representation. E, Heatmap showing pair-wise distribution density ratio of the UMAP projections of diagnosis and healthy Myeloid cells. F, Boxplot showing fraction of Myeloid clusters in the Myeloid fraction of individual patients. Wilcoxon rank-sum test performed to measure differences in representation between healthy (H) and diagnosis (D) groups, with p value indicated on plots. Horizontal lines in the boxplots represent the median, the lower and upper hinges correspond to the first and third quartiles, and the whiskers extend from the hinge up to 1.5 times the interquartile range from the hinge. G, Diffusion map of Myeloid cells, highlighting putative cluster cell type identity. H, GSVA gene set enrichment scores of myeloid cluster expression profiles based on established human blood monocyte and dendritic cell gene signatures (Villani et al., 2017). I. Heatmap of select differentially-expressed genes (based on KEGG pathways for leukocyte migration, chemotaxis, cytokines, antigen processing) distinguishing diagnosis and healthy non-classical monocytes (HD-M5).
