Expression in p60 brachial MNs was determined using the Allen Brain Map (http://portal.brain-map.org). We also interrogated the single nucleus (sn) RNA-seq datasets of p60 spinal MNs from http://spinalcordatlas.org/. + denotes expression; – denotes no expression; N. D: Not determined; N. A: Not applicable.
RNA-Seq: RNA-sequencing.
