markers_human_brain_df R Documentation
Human Brain Cell Marker Genes
Description
This dataset, markers_human_brain_df, is a data frame containing the top 1,000
marker genes for each of six major brain cell types (astrocytes, endothelial cells,
microglia, neurons, oligodendrocytes, and OPCs) identified through meta-analysis
of human brain gene expression data.
Usage
data(markers_human_brain_df)
Format
A data frame with 5,500 observations and 2 variables:
- markers
Character: Gene symbol for cell-type specific marker
- cell
Character: Cell type classification (astrocytes/endothelial/microglia/neurons/oligodendrocytes/OPCs)
Details
The dataset name has been kept as 'markers_human_brain_df' to avoid confusion
with other datasets in the R ecosystem. This naming convention helps distinguish
this dataset as part of the NeuroDataSets package. The suffix 'df' indicates
that the dataset is a data frame. The original content has not been modified.
Source
Data taken from the BRETIGEA package version 1.0.3.
