The misplaced mouse Pax6 interneuron subclass: A cross-species transcriptomic reassignment

Show abstract
Subclass cell-types are strongly conserved across mammalian brains, making the systemic absence of a caudal ganglionic eminence (CGE) Pax6 interneuron subclass in mouse transcriptional atlases unexpected. Through cross-species transcriptomic analysis, we identify a Pax6 subclass homolog in mouse and uncover primate-specific divergence in the Sncg subclass. Our results highlight the pitfalls of relying on single marker genes and provide evolution-aware annotations and marker sets to support robust cross-mammal interneuron comparisons.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
