哺乳动物的中枢神经系统(CNS)包含一系列引人注目的神经细胞,每个神经细胞都有一种复杂的连接模式,这些连接模式共同产生感知和更高的大脑功能。在这里,我们描述了一个大规模的屏幕,以创建一个在细胞水平上的CNS基因表达的图谱,并提供一个库的验证细菌人工染色体(BAC)载体和转基因小鼠品系,提供实验访问CNS区域,细胞类别和途径。我们说明了使用该图谱,以获得新的见解,在神经细胞中的基因功能,并进入中枢神经系统的发展的主要步骤。在这个屏幕上产生的BAC载体和BAC转基因小鼠的图谱,库提供了丰富的资源,允许广泛的调查,以前没有提供给神经科学界。
The mammalian central nervous system (CNS) contains a remarkable array of neural cells, each with a complex pattern of connections that together generate perceptions and higher brain functions. Here we describe a large-scale screen to create an atlas of CNS gene expression at the cellular level, and to provide a library of verified bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) vectors and transgenic mouse lines that offer experimental access to CNS regions, cell classes and pathways. We illustrate the use of this atlas to derive novel insights into gene function in neural cells, and into principal steps of CNS development. The atlas, library of BAC vectors and BAC transgenic mice generated in this screen provide a rich resource that allows a broad array of investigations not previously available to the neuroscience community.
