Extended Data Fig. 3: B. schlosseri cell population clustering based on transcriptome analysis.
From: Complex mammalian-like haematopoietic system found in a colonial chordate
a, We used 250 genes with the largest weights in the first 11 principal components (explaining 90% of the variance in mean-adjusted log-transformed gene counts) to cluster the different cell populations in a heat map. b, Transcriptome sequencing of B. schlosseri cell populations compared to FACS analysis. 2D projection of the distances between transcriptomes of cell populations based on all differential genes. Lines are drawn between the nearest two neighbours. Blue, FACS adjacency of the populations in the differentiation panel; red, genetic level proximity not predicted by FACS panel adjacency. The proximities of twenty (of thirty) genetic level cellular populations were predicted by FACS. Widths of lines are inversely proportional to distances.
