a A conceptual model for neuronal subtype diversification. A1 and A2: activator TFs, R1 and R2: repressor TFs. b Schematic of C. elegans MNs divided by region: retrovesicular ganglion (RVG), ventral nerve cord (VNC), preanal ganglion (PAG). 78 MNs are divided into 9 classes and 37 subclasses based on anatomical and molecular profile (bottom). Columns indicate molecular profile of MN subclasses based on scRNA-seq data. Rows indicate terminal identity genes (c) and transcription factors (d) expressed in MNs. Bold gene names indicate those analyzed in this study.
