Fig. 1. The landscape of normal and abnormal plasma cells at single cell resolution.

Fig. 1

a Overview of cohort and experimental setup, including the number of samples per disease stage, sex, sample preparation batch, and whether the sample was fresh or stored frozen prior to 10x sequencing. CD138+ bone marrow cell fractions were isolated and are analyzed in this study. b, c UMAP representation of plasma cells colored by disease stage (b) and sample ID (c). Cells similar in expression profile are placed nearby in this embedding. d Results of Leiden clustering of all cells. Seven clusters were merged to define a single cluster of healthy plasma cells. e Sample composition of Leiden clusters, by disease stage and sample ID (colors match the legends given in (b) and (c), respectively). The majority of clusters each consist of cells from a single sample. f Violin plots showing distribution of expression of genes commonly upregulated in patients with translocations (y-axis), along with annotations of the cytogenetic alterations detected in samples by clinical iFISH assay (top).
