Observed cell types in the ascending aorta. a. Uniform
manifold approximation and projection plot displaying cellular diversity across
71,689 nuclei from the ascending aorta of aneurysm and control patients. Each
dot represents an individual nucleus. Colors correspond to the cell cluster
labels. b. Combined uniform manifold approximation and projection
plot contrasting 6 individuals with aneurysm and 7 control aortic samples.
Aneurysm nuclei represented in magenta, control aortic nuclei are colored in
blue. c. Distribution of cell clusters across individuals,
stratified by disease status (aneurysm=6, control=7). Statistically credible
shifts in proportions as tested using scCODA (see Methods) are denoted with a *. Center line,
median; box limits, upper and lower quartiles; whiskers, 1.5x interquartile
range.
