Expression profiles and functional enrichments of marker genes across time points identified during hESC differentiation. A. UMAP visualization of the expression of well-defined marker genes of different stages in hESC differentiation. B. The representative immunofluorescence staining for definitive endoderm cells with antibodies against SOX17 and FOXA2. DAPI serves as a nucleus indicator. The individual color channels were merged to assess the colocalization of SOX17 an FOXA2 expression in the nuclei. Scale bars, 200 μm. C. Dot plot showing the average and percentage expression of well-defined marker genes in different stages or cell types. Genes are colored according to their mean expression level. Diameter denotes fractional expression. SC-α, SC-β, and SC-EC represent stem-cell-derived α, β, and enterochromaffin cells, respectively. D. Heatmap showing the expression of the top ten marker genes of each time point. lncRNA genes are indicated by arrows. E. Enriched GO terms of marker genes of each time point. F. UMAP visualization of the expression of genes related to endoderm formation. G. Violin plots showing the expression of lncRNA genes that listed in the top 10 marker genes of each time point
