Hi all, I'm interested in studying the brain and its transcriptomics. Specifically, I would like to ask if anyone here knows the best way to determine whether a brain region has unique genetic markers.
Currently, I download datasets online and run cellranger and R Seurat pipelines to analyze the data.
Let's say I'm interested in studying the hippocampus CA1 region in the brain. The only method I can think of is to download its dataset and use the findMarkers()
command with every other brain regions (as I believe this command only takes two parameters).
I feel this method is too tedious and biased. Can anyone suggest better methods or alternatives that I can use?
Any help is welcome!
Thank you very much for your reply.
Also apologies for the confusion of the above statement. What i meant about this statement is to download CA1 dataset, as well as datasets of other brain region, and compare them using the FindAllMarkers() command.
I wonder if there are alternatives that allow me to use the CA1 data to compare to all datasets simultaneously.
Thank you!
