Abstract
The spinal cord is critical part of the central nervous system, harboring heterogeneous cell types. However, the genetic markers for various types of cells in the spinal cord remains to be elucidated. In this study, we analyzed the single cell RNA seq data to investigate the potential genetic markers for the heterogeneous cell types in the mouse spinal cord. Further, combined with immunohistology dataset, we determined the spatial distribution of these cell types in the mouse spinal cord. In this study, the identification of various types of cells in the mouse spinal cord would pave the way for future functional study which may underlie motor or sensory dysfunction
