Extended Data Fig. 5. Cell zone analyses reveal the complexity and purity of the cellular communities (CCs).

Extended Data Fig. 5

a, Plot of average silhouette scores reveals that the statistically optimal number of cellular communities is thirteen. b, ~250,000 cell zones were grouped into specific cellular communities as shown by UMAP and colored by community. c, Spatial mapping of these CCs onto three different sections of the 13 p.c.w. (post conception weeks) heart shows the reproducibility of CCs corresponding to specific anatomic cardiac structures. The distribution of (d) cell zone complexity and (e) purity is displayed both spatially for replicate sections of 13 p.c.w. hearts (zone complexity/purity maps) and quantitatively in violin plots. The center white dot represents the median, the bold black line represents the interquartile range, and the edges define minima and maxima of the distribution.
