doi: 10.64898/2026.03.21.713378
Figure Lengend Snippet: (a-d) t-SNE performed on (a) PBMC immune frequencies, (b) PBMC gene expression, (c) immune frequencies and gene expression combined, and (d) plasma proteomics. (e) Clustering of transcriptomic data from our study and the Human Protein Atlas. (f) Distribution of Euclidean distance in transcriptomic profiles between collected samples (i) from the same participant within the first year (visit 1-4), (ii) from the same participant between year 1 and year 2 (visit 5-6), and (iii) from different participants. Wilcoxon tests were used for statistical analysis (ns, not significant; ****, P < 0.0001). (g) Euclidean distance between each transcriptomic profile from the last visit and the sample collected during the first year, divided into (i) pairs of samples from the same individual (light blue) and (ii) pairs of samples from different participants (red). (h) Distribution of intraclass correlation coefficient of immune cell profiling, transcriptomic and plasma proteomics. (i) Intraclass correlation coefficient of all 53 immune populations. (j) Intra- and inter-individual coefficients of variation of gene expression. (k) Examples of genes, immune populations and proteins showing individual expression profiles. Samples are colored according to their expression levels at visit 1 (orange: 0-25%, green: 25–50%, blue: 50–75%, purple: 75–100%). The highlighted dots indicate the median level of the corresponding group at that visit.
Article Snippet: Moreover, we downloaded the transcriptomic profiles available from the Human Protein Atlas ( https://www.proteinatlas.org/humanproteome/blood ) and used them to verify the expression patterns of key genes across cell types.
