a Heatmap based on MetaNeighbor AUROCs. Reference cell types are shown as columns, query cell types as rows. Global red rectangles indicate good replicability structure, suggesting replicability for Sncg, Vip, Lamp5, Sst and Pvalb inhibitory subtypes. b Distribution of AUROC scores for the “Pvalb Cpne5” cell type from the primary visual cortex (query cell type) against all reference cell types. Best hits (against the “Pvalb Vipr2_2) are shown by red lines, all other hits are shown as a gray background distribution. Replicating cell types have substantially higher AUROC scores than background cell types.
