T865 0-122 Sentence denotes Finally, we investigated how observed differences in ACE2+ proportions across clusters might be affected by cell sampling.
T866 123-545 Sentence denotes Using the proportion of ACE2+ cells in a “typical” cluster annotated as being ACE2 positive (i.e., 6.8% in non-human primate type II pneumocytes, Figure 1), we calculated the cluster sizes needed to be confident that the probability of observing zero to a few positive cells is unlikely to have arisen by random chance (probabilities calculated under a negative binomial distribution with parameter p = 0.068, Figure S6E).
T867 546-731 Sentence denotes We found that as cluster sizes approach and exceed 100 cells, the probability of observing zero to a few positive cells rapidly approaches zero, if we assume 6.8% of cells are positive.
T868 732-1349 Sentence denotes Further, to examine our confidence in estimating an approximate upper bound (ignoring the impact of protocol inefficiencies discussed above) for the fraction of cells positive in a cluster as a function of the number of cells in that cluster, we also calculated the probability of observing zero (and its complement, probability of observing at least 1) ACE2+ cells as a function of cluster size across true positive proportions ranging from 0.1% to 10% (probabilities calculated under a negative binomial distribution with parameter p = 0.001 to 0.1, representing hypothetical proportions of ACE2+ cells Figure S6F).
T869 1350-1590 Sentence denotes Given our typical cluster sizes (on the order of hundreds of cells, exact values provided in Table S9), we find that for us to observe 0 ACE2+ cells in a cluster due to sampling artifacts, the fraction of true positives must be ∼1% or less.
T870 1591-1787 Sentence denotes Thus, these complementary approaches demonstrate that our observed variations in ACE2+ cell proportions across clusters likely reflect underlying biological differences, rather than random chance.
