Human-Mammalian Brain - Basal Ganglia 10X snRANSeq data: Aligned gene expression across species#
The basal ganglia are a set of subcortical structures critical for motor control, particularly in the context of action selection, motor learning and emotional state, whose coarse functional organization is well-described in the literature.
This page describes and links to and metadata for the HMBA-BG 10X gene expression data, with 16,630 genes aligned across the species. In total there are 2,035,898 cells in this gene aligned dataset. These data are a QCed subset of those from described in the (HMBA-10XMultiome-BG) page.
These data from the basis of the cross species Basal Ganglia (BG) taxonomy.
For more information on the dataset, please refer to the following webpage: Mammalian Basal Ganglia Consensus Cell Type Atlas.
The expression matrices and associated metadata are hosted on AWS S3 bucket as a AWS Public Dataset:
