A computational framework for cross-species neurodevelopmental atlases

This study from the La Manno Lab at EPFL presents a computational framework for building cross-species neurodevelopmental atlases. The algorithm enables researchers to systematically compare gene expression programs across species during brain development, revealing both conserved and species-specific aspects of neural circuit assembly.

The approach integrates single-cell transcriptomic data from multiple developmental stages across vertebrate species, providing a unified resource for the neuroscience community.
