Differential expression analysis can be used to compare cell types. Here, we will compare glioma and oligodendrocyte cells to identify genes differentially regulated in glioma cells from the oligodendroglioma subtype. Glioma cells in oligodendroglioma are thought to originate from oligodendrocytes, thus directly comparing the two cell types will identify genes that distinguish them. 

Filter cells

To analyze only the oligodendroglioma subtype, we can filter the samples.
