Caption

These maps represent gene expression in cells recovered from COVID-19 test swabs, based on single-cell RNA sequencing of more than 32,000 cells from 58 people. Each point in the maps represents an individual cell. At left, cell types from the nasopharynx are color-coded and arranged such that those with similar patterns of gene expression are in closer proximity. At right, red and blue colors indicate cell types that are enriched in COVID-19 (shown in red) and in healthy controls (blue).
