[cell type wheel] make the cell type marker gene heatmap disappear if users jump to different sections of the wheel #255

Currently, once you select a cell type from the cell type wheel, its marker gene heatmap will stay displayed even if you browse different parts of the wheel or go back to previous display and will only go away once you select a different cell type. Can we make it disappear again after the user moves away from the cell type (but not necessarily selected a different one) to make it more in sync with what the user is currently doing/viewing

e.g. here - I searched for cancer, then selected human>caecum>enterocyte, then went back and selected 'lung' but the enterocyte heatmap remains in place no matter where you currently are in the wheel until a different cell type is selected. So you can jump to a completely different organism and completely different tissue and the old heatmap is still there, which I think is a bit counterintuitive and possibly confusing.

I think removing a valuable piece of information and replace it with nothing is not a good idea. Especially considering that the title of the hetmap tells you what cell type it’s about. Maybe we can add the species and organism part to make it clearer?
