What are the technical limitations of manipulating the dataset sizes of the whole brain size?
Great talk, very exciting work. Any plans to expand the RNA-seq database to further into glia?
All our data will include non-neuronal cells, we just haven’t prioritized the analysis of those. But it is coming!
