Interspecies comparison of mouse and ferret rare cell-type transcriptional signatures with those of human. Ferret ionocytes are transcriptionally more similar to human ionocytes. Boxplots are standard: lower and upper hinges correspond to the first and third quartiles (the 25th and 75th percentiles), and the upper and lower whiskers extend from the hinge to the largest or smallest values, respectively, no further than 1.5 IQR from the hinge where IQR is the interquartile range or distance between the first and third quartiles. Centre shows the mean. Statistical significance was determined by Wilcoxon test for the marked comparisons. n = 1,655 cells from 12 ferret donors, n = 1,640 cells from 9 mice donors, n = 885 cells from 60 human donors.
