Section Heading
Section headings should use level 2 heading, while the content of the section should use paragraph (which is the default). You can choose the style in the first dropdown in toolbar.
We will now examine the results of our exploratory analysis and use a combination of techniques to classify different subsets of T and B cells in the MALT sample.
Exploratory Analysis Results
- Double click the UMAP data node
- In the Configuration card on the left, expand the Color card and color the cells by the Graph-based attribute (Figure ?)

The 3D UMAP plot opens in a new data viewer session (Figure ?). Each point is a different cell and they are clustered together in the 3D plot based on how similar their expression profiles are across proteins and genes. Because a graph-based clustering task was performed upstream, a biomarker table is also displayed under the plot. This table lists the proteins and genes that are most highly expressed in each graph-based cluster. The graph-based clustering found 11 clusters, so there are 11 columns in the biomarker table.
- Click and drag the 2D scatter plot icon from the Available plots card onto the canvas (Figure ?)

A 2D scatter plot has been added to the right of the UMAP plot. The points in the 2D scatter plot are the same cells as in the UMAP, but they are positioned along the x- and y-axes according to their expression level for two protein markers: CD3_TotalSeqB and CD4_TotalSeqB, respectively (Figure ?).

As you move the slider up and down, the corresponding points on both plots will dynamically update. The cells with a high expression for the CD3 protein marker (a marker for T cells) are highlighted and the deselected points are dimmed (Figure ?).

- Click Merged counts in the Data card on the left
- Search for the CD4 gene
- Click and drag CD4 onto the duplicated 2D scatter plot
- Drop the CD4 gene onto the y-axis option
- Search for the CD8A gene
- Click and drag CD8A onto the duplicated 2D scatter plot
- Drop the CD8A gene onto the x-axis option
The second 2D scatter plot has the CD8A and CD4 mRNA markers on the x- and y-axis, respectively (Figure ?).
