The assignment of cell type names to individual cell clusters in single-cell RNA-sequencing
(RNA-seq; including single-nucleus RNA-seq) studies is a critical bioinformatic step
because researchers will need to be able to reliably map the pertinent transcriptomes to
other types of information in the literature. Ambiguous or redundant cell-type names would
impede such mapping tasks. The solution to this problem is to create “controlled
vocabularies” 1, 2 that can be preferentially used in reports of single-cell RNA-seq data and …
