Identification of three major epithelial cell types and their markers using scRNAseq. a Overview of scRNAseq approach using primary human breast tissue samples that were processed into single cell suspension, followed by FACS isolation of basal (CD49f-hi, EPCAM+) and luminal (CD49f+, EPCAM-hi), and scRNAseq analysis using the microfluidics-enabled scRNAseq. b Combined tSNE projection of cells from all three microfluidics-enabled scRNAseq datasets. The major basal cluster is highlighted in red; Luminal1 (L1) in green; Luminal2 (L2) in blue. c Heatmap displaying the scaled expression patterns of top marker genes within each cell type with selected marker genes highlighted; yellow indicating high expression of a particular gene, and purple indicating low expression. d Feature plots showing the scaled expression of TCF4 and ZEB1 marking a subpopulation of basal cells and gene plot showing co-expression of TCF4 and ZEB1 in the same cells. See Supplementary Fig. 1 capture site imaging, gene detection, individual principal component analysis, tSNE plot colored by individual-derived cells and feature plots of cell type-specific markers
