The single cell type section - Explore the expression profiles in single cell types



CNN1 - Prostate


TSPY2 - Testis

This section contains Single Cell Type information based on single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) data from 31 human tissues including peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The data is linked to in-house generated immunohistochemically stained tissue sections presented in the Tissue section in order to visualize the corresponding spatial protein expression patterns. The scRNAseq analysis was based on publicly available genome-wide expression data and comprises all protein-coding genes in 557 individual cell type clusters corresponding to 15 different cell type groups. A specificity classification was performed to determine the number of genes elevated in these single cell types. The genes expressed in each of the cell types can be explored in interactive UMAP plots and bar charts, with links to corresponding immunohistochemical stainings in human tissues.

More information about the specific content and the generation and analysis of the data in the section can be found on the Methods Summary.

Learn about:

  • mRNA and protein expression in single cell types
  • if a gene is enriched in a particular cell type (specificity)
  • which genes have a similar expression profile across cell types (expression cluster)



THE SINGLE CELL TYPE PROTEOMESi

SINGLE CELL TYPE EXPRESSIONi

The RNA data was used to cluster genes according to their expression across single cell types. The clustering of 19203 genes expressed in single cell types resulted in 80 expression clusters, which have been manually annotated to describe common features in terms of function and specificity. The result of the cluster analysis is presented as a UMAP based on gene expression, where each cluster has been summarized as colored areas containing most of the cluster genes.
