Single Cell Transcriptomics Classification

April 24, 2016

Ngai Lab BRAIN Initiative project represents a multidisciplinary collaboration between 10 research groups at UC Berkeley.

Summary

PI: John J. Ngai, Ngai Lab
University of California Berkeley
Title: “Classification of Cortical Neurons by Single Cell Transcriptomics”
BRAIN Category: Census of Cell Types (RFA MH-14-215)

To understand what makes neurons distinct, Dr. Ngai’s team will explore one major type of mouse brain cell, pinpointing genes responsible for differentiating them into subtypes and will also test whether each subtype has unique functions, using a new technique that labels them with tagged genes.
