Gene-specific analyses of differential expression, created through Hurdle model (columns 4–6) and ANOVA (columns 7–9) statistical comparisons between distinct cell clusters in our 48 h evx1i232/+;evx2sa140/+ heterozygote incross single-cell atlas (see Fig 6A and also Methods for experimental details and rationale for using both statistical methods). For these comparisons, the ANOVA data is probably the most robust, as the number of cells in each sub-cluster is relatively small (see Methods for more information). We also include the Hurdle model data for completeness. Column 1 shows the gene symbol. Column 2 indicates the spinal neuron types that normally express the gene. Column 3 indicates the neurotransmitter phenotype for these neurons. Columns 4 and 7 show least squares mean read counts for cells in mutant group 3, and columns 5 and 8 show least squares mean read counts for cells in all the other clusters combined, respectively. Columns 6 and 9 show fold-change values. = fold-change increase, = fold-change decrease in mutant group 3 (the antecedent (first) population) compared to all other populations combined (the consequent (second) population). Statistically significant (P<0.05) values are indicated in bold.

N.C. = Not Calculated. Hurdle model of differential expression analysis cannot be calculated, usually because expression was too low or not present in one of the groups being compared. Additional data for this comparison is available in Supp. Data Tables 2 (Hurdle model data) and 3 (ANOVA data).
