Abstract
Specificity index (pSI) calculation from Kilfeather, Khoo et al., 2024
Protocol
To calculate the specificity index of genes detected within TRAP/RiboTag datasets of dopaminergic neurons and other cell types within midbrain, pSI (v1.1) was used with default settings22,24,38–40,73. Genes were considered significantly specifically expressed with an FDR-adjusted P value < 0.01.
