Before revision:  To facilitate cross-dataset alignment and comparison, we created a working nomenclature convention for matching and tracking cell types across studies . The convention is qualitatively similar to how gene transcripts are tracked across different versions of GENCODE genome builds, allowing comparison of matched types with a common reference or any other taxonomy.
