Is there a guide with a description concerning the different clusters of cells detailed in the 10xWholeMouseBrain dataset? For instance I am trying to determine the difference between the 5286 MOL NN\_4 and 5288 MOL NN\_4 oligodendrocytes.

As a starting point, [Supplementary Table 7](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06812-z#Sec49) from the associated manuscript ([A high-resolution transcriptomic and spatial atlas of cell types in the whole mouse brain | Nature](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06812-z)) provides details on each cluster, including marker gene sets that will distinguish each cluster from related clusters.
