Abstract
A comprehensive atlas of genes, cell types, and their spatial distribution across a whole mammalian brain is fundamental for understanding the function of the brain. Here, using single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) and Stereo-seq techniques, we generated a mouse brain atlas with spatial information for 308 cell clusters at single-cell resolution, involving over 4 million cells, as well as for 29,655 genes. We have identified cell clusters exhibiting preference for cortical subregions and explored their associations with brain-related diseases. Additionally, we pinpointed 155 genes with distinct regional expression patterns within the brainstem and unveiled 513 long non-coding RNAs showing region-enriched expression in the adult brain. Parcellation of brain regions based on spatial transcriptomic information revealed fine structure for several brain areas. Furthermore, we have uncovered 411 transcription factor regulons showing distinct spatiotemporal dynamics during neurodevelopment. Thus, we have constructed a single-cell-resolution spatial transcriptomic atlas of the mouse brain with genome-wide coverage.
