Fig. 1. Transcriptomic cell-type taxonomy of the whole mouse brain.

Fig. 1

a, Left, the transcriptomic taxonomy tree of 338 subclasses organized in a dendrogram (10xv2: n = 1,699,939 cells; 10xv3: n = 2,341,350 cells; 10x Multiome: n = 1,687 nuclei). The neighbourhood and class levels are marked on the taxonomy tree. Classes marked with asterisks are included in the NN–IMN-GC neighbourhood. The IDs of every third subclass are shown to the right of the dendrogram. Full subclass names are provided in Supplementary Table 7. Following subclass IDs, bar plots represent (left to right): major neurotransmitter type, region distribution of profiled cells, number of clusters per subclass, number of RNA-seq cells analysed per subclass, and number of cells analysed by MERFISH per subclass. Subclasses marked with grey dots contain sex-dominant clusters. Sex-dominant clusters within a subclass are identified by calculating the odds and log P value for male/female distribution per cluster. Clusters with odds < 0.2 and log10(P value) < −10 are considered to be sex-dominant. be, UMAP representation of all cell types coloured by class (b), subclass (c), brain region (d) and major neurotransmitter type (e). Colour schemes for ae are shown in the key at the bottom right of the figure.
