Fig. 4: Finding marker genes from rare cell types using starTracer.

A UMAP of 100% sample and 10% sample of the target five types of inhibitory neurons. B The intersection of the original markers (markers found at 100% size) and the markers found at different sample sizes from 100% to 10%. The upper panel shows the intersection of the top 50 markers found by starTracer at each sample size. The lower panel shows the intersection of the top 5 markers found by starTracer. C Bubble plot of the top 50 markers found by starTracer at the level of 10% size. Bubble size indicates the percent of cells expressing the gene. Color indicates the average expression value.
