Fig. 3. Cluster distribution within donors and provenance of clusters.

Fig. 3

a Distribution of cells among the different cell clusters for each donor. Each column represents a cluster, and each row represents a subject. The data are presented as the percentage of the cells in a given cluster within a given donor. Cluster 1 is the most abundant cluster in all subjects. Each cluster is color coded according to Fig. 2. b Clusters with differential proportions in the DLPFC (AD & MCI) autopsy samples versus the TNC (TLE) surgical tissue samples. Boxplots of the distribution of proportions of the 4 clusters with statistically significant differences between the two sample groups. The DLPFC (AD & MCI) group contains 14,142 cells from 14 donors (MCI1 GM - MCI4 GM, AD1 GM- AD10 GM), while the TNC (TLE) group contains 2103 cells from 3 donors (TLE1 CTX – TLE3 CTX). Significance was assessed using the (non-parametric) Mann–Whitney test, resulting in the p-values shown for each cluster. All tests were two-sided. The boxes represent the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile. The whiskers extend to the furthest value that is no more than 1.5 times the inter-quartile range (default parameter for R’s boxplot function). Source data for this figure are provided in the Source Data file.
