Coarse lineage map

How CyteType groups clusters into major lineages for first-pass orientation.

What it is

Clusters are grouped into major lineages (myeloid, lymphoid, epithelial, stromal, endothelial, and related groups) for rapid high-level orientation before diving into subtypes.

How to read it

Use this for first-pass triage. Lineage groups reflect broad biology before subtype resolution. Confidence indicators show certainty at the lineage level.

When to act

Clusters misassigned to an unexpected lineage may indicate doublets, ambient RNA contamination, or marker gene quality issues.
