Fig. 2. Cell types in the developing human neocortex across cortical areas.

Fig. 2

a, Single cells from the neocortex represented in UMAP space. Cells in the far left UMAP plot are colour-coded by cell type or state annotation. Feature plots on the right depict the expression pattern of major cell population markers (SOX2, radial glia; EOMES, IPC; MKI67, dividing cells; HOPX, outer radial glia; PDGFRA, OPC/oligodendrocyte; AQP4, astrocytes; BCL11B, deep layer excitatory neurons; SATB2, superficial layer excitatory neurons; NEUROD6, broad excitatory neurons; DLX6-AS1, inhibitory neurons). b, Hierarchical clustering of 138 neocortical clusters on the basis of the Pearson correlations of cluster marker expression profiles across all neocortical stages sampled. Branches are colour-coded by the major cell type assigned to each cluster group. Histograms below show the fraction of cells from each area contributing to a cluster. Bottom bar chart shows the relative number of cells (log2-transformed, range 0 to 20) in each cluster.
