Fig. 3: Identification of common and differentially expressed genes in astrocytes.
From: Identification of region-specific astrocyte subtypes at single cell resolution
a Chart showing the number of genes expressed in at least 60% of sampled astrocytes (common) and the number of genes specifically enriched in each subtype. b Examples of genes common across astrocyte subtypes, classified by biological function. TFs, transcription factors. c Examples of genes highly enriched in specific astrocyte subtypes, classified by biological function. Note, some genes, e.g. Gabrg1 (γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor γ1 subunit), could be classified as either an ion channel or as involved in synaptic function/plasticity. Here, classification was based on the principal identified function—ion channel activity.
