| Database description | Plabrain DB is a database for planarian nervous system analysis, including results of the gene expression profiling of single cells, the gene expression analysis by whole-mount in situ hybridization and the analysis by Immunohistochemical staining. This is the first case to release the result of gene expression analysis at the single-cell resolution by semi-quantitative single-cell RT-PCR (FBSC-PCR) method using FACS (Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting) . |
| Features and manner of utilization of database | Plabrain DB is featured by the unique method which combines the semi-quantitative single-cell RT-PCR with FACS to analyze gene expression in single neurons.
