Negative Marker Genes
Genes expected to be absent, or expressed at a notably low level, in these cells, and whose absence supports the assignment of this cell annotation.- —
Rationale
- Marker genes are top 10 DEGs for this population compared with rest of UMAP (from Table S1 in publication). As most of the population are Kupffer cells (KCs), KC specific genes largely define the population however smaller populations of macrophages are also present. Refer to myeloid cell UMAP for more granularity.
