BrainLists: Brain-Related Categories with Corresponding Gene Markers
Description
This matrix gives a predefined set of marker genes for many brain-related categories (ie., cell type, organelle, changes with disease, etc.), as reported in several previously-published studies. It is used with userListEnrichment to search user-defined gene lists for enrichment.
Usage

Arguments
format
A 48319 x 2 matrix of characters containing Gene / Category pairs. The first column (Gene) lists genes corresponding to a given category (second column). Each Category entry is of the form __, where the references can be found at userListEnrichment. Note that the matrix is sorted first by Category and then by Gene, such that all genes related to the same category are listed sequentially.
