“…Since these genes are associated with a more progenitor state of the radial glia, we can speculate that s100a10+/cx43+ clusters could represent a radial glial state that is more progenitor-like. This is consistent with the absence of immature neuronal fate marker elavl3 ( Kizil et al, 2012b ; Tallafuss et al, 2015 ) in dRGC1 and mRGC1 but its presence in dRGC2 and mRGC2 (Dataset S1B, Figure S3). Given that all RGC clusters express widely-used glial markers s100b (Raponi et al, 2007) , her4 , fabp7a (Ito et al, 2010) , gfap (Lam et al, 2009) , msi1 (Kaneko et al, 2000) , slc1a3b (Untiet et al, 2017) , glula (Grupp et al, 2010) , sox2 (Ellis et al, 2004) , vim (Doetsch et al, 1997) , hopx (Li et al, 2015) and notch3 (Alunni et al, 2013) (Figure 2; Figure S3; Dataset S1B), our unbiased separation of RGCs into six clusters with differential expression of regional markers in important in terms of delineating the heterogeneity of different glial progenitors.…”
