Mapping the marmoset's deep-brain cell diversity and building a tool to integrate data across species
The Brief
- Researchers built a high-resolution brain-cell atlas that charts over 25 million individual brain cells across humans, macaques and marmosets.
- The work was carried out by a team of neuroscientists and computational biologists.
- The project also includes building a tool to integrate brain-cell data across species.
Why it matters
The atlas and cross-species tool let researchers compare brain cell types across humans, macaques and marmosets in one framework, which the source compares in scope to what the Human Genome Project did for genetics.
