MERFISH spatial transcriptomics dataset of a single adult mouse brain#
A 4.0 million cell spatial transcriptomics dataset spanning a single adult mouse brain with a 500 gene panel and mapped to the whole mouse brain taxonomy. It was used in the creation of a high resolution transcriptomic and spatial atlas of cell types described in Yao et al..
The expression matrices and associated metadata is hosted on AWS S3 bucket as a AWS Public Dataset:
