Hi There,

A quick question. I know that the database can be filtered for a series of different disease or development gene families, but is there a list of cortical layer marker genes in documentation that I can access? I know that I can filter the macaque for cortical layer markers, or use differential search in the mouse or specific layers, but I’m struggling to find a similar approach when interacting with the human ISH data.

Hi Maheshwar,

This paper goes into detail about expression by layer in the human brain.
