Extended Data Fig. 2. MERFISH data generation, data processing and summary of results.

Extended Data Fig. 2

(a) Workflow for generating and processing MERFISH data. (b) Correlation of gene detection between MERFISH and bulk RNA-sequencing for four different brain regions. (c) Histogram displaying the distribution of gene detection correlation between adjacent MERFISH sections. (d-f) Violin plots displaying distribution of cell volumes (d), gene detection (e), and mRNA molecule detection (f) for individual sections ordered from anterior to posterior (left panel) or cumulative distribution for the whole brain (right panel). Red dashed lines indicate cutoff for filtering. (g) Cumulative histogram showing the relative contribution of each subclass to each section ordered from anterior to posterior. (h) Heatmap showing the proportion of cells per region for each subclass in the MERFISH data (left) and scRNA-seq data (right). The heatmap in the middle shows the correlation between region distribution of MERFISH and scRNA-seq data.
