For integration across datasets, we used two levels of annotations. When possible, every sample was annotated with its tissue of origin based on the available metadata from GEO. We excluded any sample for which tissue was not specified. For the smaller subset of 252,871 cells we then . CC-BY-ND 4.0 International license author/funder. It is made available under a The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not peer-reviewed) is the . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.19.049254 doi: bioRxiv preprint manually annotated cell clusters with broad cell type classes using marker genes. These clusters were generated using the harmony-pytorch Python implementation (version 0.1.1 (https://github.com/lilab-bcb/harmony-pytorch 163 ) of the Harmony scRNA-seq integration method 164 for batch correction and leiden clustering from the Scanpy package (version 1.4.5) 165 . Clusters without clear markers distinguishing types were excluded from further analysis.
