Figure 1. Cell type and the identification of differentially expression genes (DEGs) in the scRNA-seq dataset. (A) The distribution of 27 cell clusters (0-26) in the GSE131882 dataset as determined by the UMAP algorithm. (B) Violin plot showing the expression levels of highly variable gene markers in different cell clusters. (C) Thirteen cell types were identified in the GSE131882 scRNA-seq data. (D) Circle plot of the top 5 GO and KEGG enrichments in the up-regulated DEGs. (E) Circle plot of the top 5 GO and KEGG enrichments in the down-regulated DEGs.
