Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) The schematic diagram of the cell identification workflow for the 10k PBMCs dataset using CellClick. CD14+ Mono, CD14 + Monocytes; MAIT, mucosal-associated invariant T cells; NK, natural killer cells; CD16+ Mono, CD16 + Monocytes; pDC, plasmacytoid dendritic cells. (B) Reference marker gene-based marker gene scores for Cluster “0” and Cluster “6”. (C) Expression patterns of CellClick suggested marker genes for Cluster “0” and Cluster “6”. (D) Annotation results for Cluster “0” and Cluster “6” using CellClick. (E) Reference marker gene-based marker gene scores for Cluster “5”. Reference marker genes with ambiguous cell type identities are highlighted with red box in the dot plot. (F) Expression patterns of CD3D (the marker gene for T cells), CD8B (the marker gene for CD8 + T cells), NCR1 (the marker gene for NK cells), and NCAM1 (the marker gene for NK cells) across all cell clusters. (G) Annotation results for Cluster “5” using CellClick. (H) UMAP embedding showing cells expressing SLC4A10 in the 10k PBMCs dataset. (I) UMAP embedding of cell selection results for Cluster “MAIT” using the Cluster Refinement function. (J) Newly identified marker genes for temporary Cluster “MAIT,0” and Cluster “MAIT,1” after rerunning the Cell Identification function. (K) Reannotation results for Cluster “MAIT” using CellClick. The color rule for gene names in the dot plots of panels (C) and (E) is the same as described in (C) .
Article Snippet: The 10k PBMCs dataset, a human peripheral blood single-cell RNA-seq dataset, was downloaded from the 10x Genomics website ( https://www.10xgenomics.com/cn/datasets/10-k-pbm-cs-from-a-healthy-donor-v-3-chemistry-3-standard-3-0-0 ) and used to demonstrate the ability of CellClick in generating more accurate cell type annotation results for preprocessed single-cell RNA-seq dataset.
