scBrainMap: a landscape for cell types and associated genetic markers in the brain

The great variety of brain cell types is a fundamental element for neuronal circuits. One major goal of modern neuroscience is to decipher the various types of cellular composition and characterize their properties. Due to the high heterogeneity of neuronal cells, until recently, it was not possible to group brain cell types at high resolution. Thanks to the single-cell transcriptome technology, a dedicated database of brain cell types across species has been established. Here, we developed...
