Clustering analysis of whole human brain 10X single nucleus transcriptomes#

Clustering analysis of over 3 million single nucleus transcriptomes spanning the whole adult human brain, resulting in a set of 461 clusters and 3313 subclusters. The dataset linked below contains metadata on all cells and geens in the WHB dataset.

Full details on the dataset can be found in Siletti et al. 2023.

The associated metadata is hosted on AWS S3 bucket as a AWS Public Dataset:
