Inference of Cell Type Composition from Human Brain Transcriptomic Datasets Illuminates the Effects of Age, Manner of Death, Dissection, and Psychiatric Diagnosis
2016-11-25
Abstract excerpt
Psychiatric illness is unlikely to arise from pathology occurring uniformly across all cell types in affected brain regions. Despite this, transcriptomic analyses of the human brain have typically been conducted using macro-dissected tissue due to the difficulty of performing single-cell type analyses with donated post-mortem brains. To address this issue statistically, we compiled a database of several thousand t...
