Marker-level evidence

How to read supporting, missing, and unexpected genes behind each CyteType call.

What it is

The supporting, missing, and unexpected gene breakdown for each annotation call. Each gene is annotated with its biological role and linked to published evidence.

How to read it

  • Unexpected markers are genes inconsistent with the label (potential contamination or annotation error)
  • Missing markers are canonical genes expected but not detected (may indicate incomplete capture or a cell subtype)
  • Supporting markers positively support the assigned cell type

When to act

Many unexpected markers or absent canonical markers alongside low confidence is a strong signal to question the call.
