CellCover marker gene panels in the developing mammalian neocortex.
(A) Dot plot of empirical conditional expression probabilities of CellCover marker panels of each cell age. The marker genes of each cell age are grouped along the horizontal axis and sorted by expression frequency in the cell class of interest. The color of the dots represents the expression probability of markers conditioned on time since a cell’s terminal division, i.e., the proportion of cells within a class expressing the marker gene. For this analysis, cells of each time point were pooled across embryonic ages (E12–15). The panel is obtained using the CellCover with and . RG = radial glia, NB = neuroblast, NR = neuron. (B) Transfer of marker gene panels from the Telley data (Telley et al., 2019) to a second mouse neocortex dataset shows consistent identification of the primary cell types in mouse neurogenesis. Left: UMAP representations of cells from the dorsal forebrain excitatory lineage in the La Manno atlas of mouse brain development (La Manno et al., 2021), colored by cell labels assigned by the original authors. This is followed by the same UMAPs, now showing the proportion of gene panels derived from the Telley dataset, labeled 1 H, 24 H, and 96 H, expressed at non-zero levels in each individual cell. These last three plots illustrate the transfer of marker gene panels derived from the Telley data to the La Manno data. (C) Box plots of these same proportions broken down by cell-type labels provided by the original authors. (D) Transfer of marker gene panels from the Telley data in mouse to data in the developing human neocortex from Polioudakis et al., 2019, shows the identification of conserved cell types in neurogenesis across mammalian species. Left: tSNE map of cells from the dorsal forebrain excitatory lineage in the Polioudakis data. This is followed by the same tSNE maps, now showing the transfer of marker gene panels derived from progenitors labeled 1, 24, and 96 hr after terminal cell division in the Telley data. The map is colored by the proportion of each gene panel that is expressed at non-zero levels in each individual cell of the human Polioudakis dataset. Original author cell labels are used: RG = radial glia, v=ventricular, o=outer, Pg = cycling progenitor, S=in S phase, G2M=in G2M phase, IP = intermediate progenitor, Ex = excitatory neuron, N=new migrating, M=maturing, Dp = deep layer, U=upper layer. (E) Box plots of these same proportions broken down by cell type labels and microdissection information provided by the original authors. The final two boxes indicate expression in neuronal subtypes segregated by physical location: germinal zone (GZ) or cortical plate (CP) microdissection.

Transfer of Telley within 1 H markers to radial glia, neuroblast, and glioblast cell populations in La Manno Dataset.
We use the box plot to show the distribution of the proportion of marker genes expressed in each of the three cell populations. For example, the first (blue) box plot in the top left panel shows the distribution of the proportion of E12.1H marker genes expressed in the radial glia cells in the La Manno dataset. These data clearly show the shift of mouse neocortical progenitors from neurogenic to gliogenic potential from E12-E15.
Expression of gliogenic and oRG marker gene panels across developmental time in human, macaque, and mouse neural progenitor cells.
CellCover () was used to define marker gene panels from scRNA-seq of sorted cell types of the developing human telencephalon (Liu et al., 2023). Here, the expression of marker gene panels from gliogenic precursor cells and outer radial glial (oRG) cells is examined in additional scRNA-seq data from progenitor cells of the developing (A) human (Trevino et al., 2021), (B) macaque (Micali et al., 2023), and (C) mouse (Di Bella et al., 2021) neocortex. Each panel depicts the number of progenitor cells (color intensity) expressing differing proportions of oRG (X-axis) and gliogenic precursor (Y-axis) marker panel genes at one developmental time in each species. Changes in the distribution of progenitor cells expressing different proportions of the marker genes as development progresses can be seen across panels from left to right. Ages are shown in individual panel titles. pcw = post-conceptional weeks.

Over-representation analysis in gene marker panels of differing size and methodology, using the GO database.
Over-representation analysis was performed using the Fisher’s exact test using gene sets from the GO database. Over-represented gene sets were marked as significant by a cutoff using the Benjamini-Hochberg method. The background gene list was defined as all the genes present in the Telley dataset. (A) The number of GO gene sets found to be significantly enriched in the gene marker panels derived from CellCover and DE methods across different matched panel sizes. The X-axis indicates the depth parameter d that was set for the CellCover run (preceding the numbers on the X-axis, ‘d’ indicates the depth in de novo CellCover runs, ‘e’ indicates expanded runs that use marker panels from the preceding CellCover run as a starting point). Corresponding numbers of DE markers were selected for each depth so that marker panels of equal size were compared across CellCover and DE methods. Numbers in parentheses indicate the number of genes in each marker panel. (B) The proportion of gene sets that were found to be significant by one method and not the other.
Overlap and discordance between marker genes selected by CellCover and DE methods.
For each of the 12 CellCover gene panels defined in the Telley mouse data, the number of overlapping genes found by DE methods is quantified. In each panel, the orange line indicates the number of genes in the CellCover gene panel for that cell class. The blue line indicates the cumulative number of CellCover genes also found in the top ranked DE gene marker list as increasingly large DE gene lists are considered. The X-axis value where the orange and blue lines meet indicates the number of DE markers that would need to be selected to include all the CellCover markers.
Sensitivity and specificity of individual marker genes selected by CellCover.
Visualization of expression of individual marker genes selected by CellCover. Among all the covering markers for E12.1H, Hmga2 and Crabp2 have the lowest p-values in DE (and are therefore selected as DE marker genes) and show high sensitivity with lower specificity. In contrast, Nptx2, Pctp, and Cldn9 have the highest p-values in DE (and are therefore not selected as DE marker genes) and show low sensitivity individually, but very high specificity.
Telley 1 H CellCover markers sensitivity vs rank from DE.
We ran Seurat DE on the Telley dataset to discriminate 1 H cells and rank the entire gene portfolio by the p-values. Each CellCover gene (Figure 2A) has its sensitivity of the class , , on the horizontal axis and its rank from DE on the vertical axis. The size of the dot represents the weight of the marker defined in the method section (download the interactive plots at DE Rank vs Sensitivity). The ability of CellCover to borrow power across marker genes of low sensitivity and high specificity is one of the primary factors that sets it apart from DE methods.
Telley 24 H CellCover markers sensitivity vs rank from DE.
We ran Seurat DE on the Telley dataset to discriminate 24 H cells and rank the entire gene portfolio by the p-values. Each CellCover gene (Figure 2A) has its sensitivity of the class , , on the horizontal axis and its rank from DE on the vertical axis. The size of the dot represents the weight of the marker defined in the method section (download the interactive plots at DE Rank vs Sensitivity). The ability of CellCover to borrow power across marker genes of low sensitivity and high specificity is one of the primary factors that sets it apart from DE methods.
Telley 96 H CellCover markers sensitivity vs rank from DE.
We ran Seurat DE on the Telley dataset to discriminate 96 H cells and rank the entire gene portfolio by the p-values. Each CellCover gene (Figure 2A) has its sensitivity of the class , , on the horizontal axis and its rank from DE on the vertical axis. The size of the dot represents the weight of the marker defined in the method section (download the interactive plots at DE Rank vs Sensitivity). The ability of CellCover to borrow power across marker genes of low sensitivity and high specificity is one of the primary factors that sets it apart from DE methods.
Distribution of marker gene expression rate of CellCover and PhenotypeCover.
The blue bars form the histogram of the probabilities of expression of the CellCover (global version) marker genes obtained at and . The probability of expression is computed by . The yellow bars depict the distribution of probabilities of expression of the Phenotype marker gene obtained by letting to match the size of the CellCover marker panel.
CellCover run time of multiple cell populations from the Polioudakis dataset.
The axis is the covering depth , and the axis is the run time. We set a time limit of 1800 s for the program. If the branch and cut algorithm does not converge in 1800 s, MIP gap will be reported. The smaller the gap, the closer the dual and primal objectives are, indicating better convergence.

Sensitivity analysis of CellCover 1 H markers.
The first column of the table lists the average sensitivity of the marker gene in the cell population that is not 1 H, and the second column lists the sensitivity of the marker within class 1 H. The third column lists the p-value rank from DE. The CellCover marker with low sensitivity of 1 H also tends to have a low p-value rank in DE.
