Brain Cell Type Specific Gene Expression and Co-expression Network Architectures

Abstract Elucidating brain cell type specific gene expression patterns is critical towards a better understanding of how cell-cell communications may influence brain functions and dysfunctions. We set out to compare and contrast five human and murine cell type-specific transcriptome-wide RNA express...
