Description
The hypothalamus plays a key role in coordinating fundamental body functions. Despite recent progress in single-cell technologies, a unified catalogue and molecular characterization of the heterogeneous cell types and, specifically, neuronal subtypes in this brain region are still lacking. Here we present an integrated reference atlas “HypoMap” of the murine hypothalamus consisting of 384,925 cells, with the ability to incorporate new additional experiments. We validate HypoMap by comparing data collected from SmartSeq2 and bulk RNA sequencing of selected neuronal cell types with different degrees of cellular heterogeneity.

development_stage_ontology_term_id | Ontology term identifier for the developmental stage, providing a standardized reference to the organism's developmental phase. If the organism is human (`organism_ontology_term_id == 'NCBITaxon:9606'`), then the Human Developmental Stages (`HsapDv:`) ontology is used. If the organism is mouse (`organism_ontology_term_id == 'NCBITaxon:10090'`), then the Mouse Developmental Stages (`MmusDv:`) ontology is used. Otherwise, the Uberon (`UBERON:`) ontology is used. | vector | category | 384925 |
disease | Information on any disease or pathological condition associated with the cell or donor. | vector | category | 384925 |
disease_ontology_term_id | Ontology term identifier for the disease, enabling standardized disease classification and referencing. Must be a term from the Mondo Disease Ontology (`MONDO:`) ontology term, or `PATO:0000461` from the Phenotype And Trait Ontology (`PATO:`). | vector | category | 384925 |
donor_id | Identifier for the donor from whom the cell sample is obtained. | vector | category | 384925 |
is_primary_data | Indicates whether the data is primary (directly obtained from experiments) or has been computationally derived from other primary data. | vector | bool | 384925 |
self_reported_ethnicity | Ethnicity of the donor as self-reported, relevant for studies considering genetic diversity and population-specific traits. | vector | category | 384925 |
self_reported_ethnicity_ontology_term_id | Ontology term identifier for the self-reported ethnicity, providing a standardized reference for ethnic classifications. If the organism is human (`organism_ontology_term_id == 'NCBITaxon:9606'`), then the Human Ancestry Ontology (`HANCESTRO:`) is used. | vector | category | 384925 |
