Single entries for genes and peptides are examples from larger populations which may be archived in separate databases. At the bottom for comparison are formats for current studies covered in the text of RNA-seq gene expression. The comparison shows the close similarity between the approaches, indicating that the format can accommodate new data regarding genes and peptides revealed by RNA-seq and other methods. Leaving blank the entries for genes and peptides when not yet available makes clear where new studies are needed, while also providing comparisons with what is known in other neuron types (see text). Abbreviations for Gouwens et al. (2018): VISp, VI S posterior; spiney 1 cluster, gene group; for other abbreviations, see previous nomenclature entries for these neurons.
