Description

A dataset containing several thousand genes that have been previously identified as having cell type specific expression in the forebrain or cortex.

Usage

1

Format

A data frame with 3383 rows and 14 variables:

Umbrella.Cell.Type

The broadest category for the cell type where this gene was found to be specifically expressed

Specific.Cell.Type

The subcategory of the cell type where this gene was found to be specifically expressed

Brain.Region

the tissue type in which this cell type specific gene expression was originally characterized

GeneSymbol_Human

The official human gene symbol for the gene. If the experiment was originally performed in mice, this is the top ortholog as defined by HCOP: Orthology Predictions Search http://www.genenames.org/cgi-bin/hcop.

GeneSymbol_Mouse

The official mouse gene symbol for the gene. If the experiment was originally performed in human tissue, this is the top ortholog as defined by HCOP: Orthology Predictions Search http://www.genenames.org/cgi-bin/hcop.

Species

The species in which this cell type specific gene expression was originally characterized

Age

The age of the organism in which this cell type specific gene expression was originally characterized

Statistical.Criterion

The statistical criterion used to define cell type specificity in the publication that defined this gene as having cell type specific expression

Specificity

The statistical cut-off used to define cell type specificity in the publication that defined this gene as having cell type specific expression

Comparison

The comparison group (other cell types) used to define cell type specificity in the publication that defined this gene as having cell type specific expression

Platform

The platform (microarray, RNAseq) used to measure gene expression in the publication that defined this gene as having cell type specific expression

Citation

An abbreviated citation for the publication that defined this gene as having cell type specific expression

Tag

A short descriptor that combines the umbrella cell type, specific cell type, and publication of origin

CellType_Primary

Categories of cells likely to encompass the majority of cells in the cortex based on the literature
