  1. The layer-normalized distance was converted from a continuous measure along the gradient of keratinocyte terminal differentiation into a discrete number of ‘spatial partitions’ as illustrated in Fig. 2c. These spatial partitions better reflect the relative number of cells within each layer, with a ratio of 1:4:2; one basal cell, four spinous and granular cells and two transitional cells
