Article Title: Cellular diversity of the developing chick trigeminal ganglion at single-cell resolution
doi: 10.64898/2026.02.01.702869
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) UMAP representing combined data from all four single-cell RNA-seq samples, depicting manually-annotated clusters based on known marker gene expression. Seven major clusters were identified: immune cells, fibroblast cells, placodal cells, neural crest cells, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and erythrocytes. ( B ) Dot plot depicting expression levels of marker genes for each manually-annotated cluster. ( C ) Feature plot of Cdh5 expression, which is enriched in the endothelial cell cluster. ( D-E ) Whole mount confocal average intensity projection ( D ) and single Z plane ( E ) through ( D ) of a developing trigeminal ganglion at HH17, processed using HCR to visualize Sox10 (magenta), Isl1 (cyan), and Cdh5 (yellow). Box in ( D ) indicates zoomed region in ( E ). ( F ) Feature plot of Ptprc expression, which is enriched in the immune cell cluster. ( G-H ) Whole mount confocal average intensity projection ( G ) and single Z plane ( H ) through ( G ) of a developing trigeminal ganglion at HH17, processed using HCR to visualize Sox10 (magenta), Isl1 (cyan), and Ptprc (yellow). Box in ( G ) indicates zoomed region in ( H ). Orthogonal projection in the YZ plane of ( G ) is displayed in ( G’ ). Scale bar, 50 µm.
