Characterization of rat mandibular molars single-cell atlas. a Cells identified by scRNA-seq were visualized with UMAP. Different cell populations were defined and distinguished by color. b Main marker genes for different cell types. c The expression levels of marker genes were projected onto the UMAP atlas. Expression of example key genes used for the annotation and the characterization of the clusters. d Heatmap showing five differentially expressed genes for each cluster
