- ## Including Plots
- You can also embed plots, for example:
- ```{r pressure, echo=FALSE}
- `SCTfinal 1` <- readRDS("SCTfinal 1.rds")
- FeaturePlot(`SCTfinal 1`, features = c('alx3', "prrx1a"), pt.size = 1, blend = TRUE, cols = c('#FF0000', '#9400D3'), blend.threshold = 0.05)
- FeaturePlot(`SCTfinal 1`, features = c('alx3', "alx4a", "alx1"))
- FeaturePlot(`SCTfinal 1`, features = 'alx3', pt.size = 1, cols = c("grey", "#FF0000"))
- FeaturePlot(`SCTfinal 1`, features = 'alx4a', pt.size = 1, cols = c("grey", "#FF00FF"))
- FeaturePlot(`SCTfinal 1`, features = 'alx1', pt.size = 1, cols = c("grey", "#3EFF00"))
- ```
- Note that the `echo = FALSE` parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.

Code availability statement
The paper has a code availability statement. Its license (CC BY-NC-ND) does not allow reproducing it here; in short, from what the harvester recognized in it:
- it points to the authors' code: AbiRMM/
alx3-alx4-scRNA-seq-Anal ysis
Read it in the paper: doi.org/10.1038/s41467-026-74434-w.
Tracing map
Proposed by the machine: these links were found in the paper and verified at the source, without human review. The map will receive a Zenodo DOI once one of the paper's authors has validated it with their ORCID.
What the map holds:
- 1 repository of the authors' code, each at its verified commit, with its license and how the link was found in the paper;
- 2 scripts, each with its path and the digest of its content;
- 3 matches between paragraphs of the paper and lines of the code (method lexical-v1);
- neither the text of the paper nor the code itself.
Its JSON (tracing-map.json) is deposited on Zenodo with its DOI once the map is validated.

The authors of this paper can claim it, correct its record and validate its tracing map, and the maintainers of its code (its owner, or a public member of its organization) correct what it says of their repository; anyone signed in can ask for its removal. Every request goes to OSCR's own machine, which answers it; your account page follows them.
Sign in with ORCID to claim this paper as one of its authors, correct its record or validate its tracing map: when the paper's metadata lists your ORCID iD, you are recognized at once. Maintainers of its code: sign in with GitHub, then claim the repository on your account page.

Correct its record
Say what each link of this record is, remove the ones that are not the paper's, add the ones that are missing. The correction becomes a new version of the record, in its Versions section.
Validate its tracing map
You validate the map as this page shows it: 1 repository of the authors' code, each at its verified commit and with its license, 2 scripts, and 3 matches between paragraphs and code (see the Code and Map sections). It then receives a DOI on Zenodo, with you (your ORCID iD) and OSCR as its creators; the code itself is not deposited.
The map's fingerprint: sha256:2b39fb7cbeaaa9d1…
Add the badge to its README
The badge links the code to this page. Copy one of these into the README of the paper's code: only you decide where it goes, and nothing is changed for you.
Markdown
[, paste the snippet at the top, then “Commit changes…” and, to review it first, “Create a new branch and start a pull request”. You open the pull request; OSCR asks for no permission.
Request its removal
To ask OSCR to remove this record, the copies of its authors' scripts or its tracing map, use the removal request page: signed in, you say who you are, what to remove and why, then review and confirm the request. Published rules decide every request (how).
