32 Maynard, Collado-Torres, et al, bioRxiv, 2020 Use known marker genes only Use layer- enriched genes (scenario where you have more datasets) Only use the data Requires >=1 expert Benefits from known marker genes (if expressed) & prior knowledge

33 Maynard, Collado-Torres, et al, bioRxiv, 2020 Data-driven layer-enriched clustering in the DLPFC Using spatial coordinates does help in some cases
