A Novel Method for Clustering Cellular Data to Improve Classification
Many fields, such as neuroscience, are experiencing the vast proliferation of cellular data, underscoring the need for organizing and interpreting large datasets. A popular approach partitions data into manageable subsets via hierarchical clustering, but objective methods to determine the appropriate classification granularity are missing. We recently introduced a technique to systematically identify when to stop subdividing clusters based on the fundamental principle that cells must differ more between than within clusters. Here we present the corresponding protocol to classify cellular datasets by combining data-driven unsupervised hierarchical clustering with statistical testing. These general-purpose functions are applicable to any cellular dataset that can be organized as two-dimensional matrices of numerical values, including molecular, physiological, and anatomical datasets. We demonstrate the protocol using cellular data from the Janelia MouseLight project to characterize morphological aspects of neurons.

Topological Data Analysis of Spatial Patterning in Heterogeneous Cell Populations: Clustering and Sorting with Varying Cell-Cell Adhesion
Different cell types aggregate and sort into hierarchical architectures during the formation of animal tissues. The resulting spatial organization depends (in part) on the strength of adhesion of one cell type to itself …
