Files availability

snRNA-seq data are readily available in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) below the accession GSE185472. The following public datasets were passe for snRNA-seq prognosis: Allen Mind Institute human adult snRNA-seq data from extra than one cortical areas (https://portal.brain-scheme.org/atlases-and-data/rnaseq/human-extra than one-cortical-areas-trim-seq; accessed October 2022), snRNA-seq data from broad temporal coverage from fetal to adulthood stages of the Brodmann standing 8, 9, 10 and 46 prefrontal cortex regions (GEO accession GSE168408) and snRNA-seq from 8-month-passe cortical organoid transplants (GEO accession GSE190815). For single-nucleus prognosis, we passe hg19 human reference genome v1.2.0 and mm10 mouse reference genome v1.2.0 supplied by 10x Genomics. The sequences and gene files passe to originate the references is at possibility of be accomplished at ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/grch37/originate-84/fasta/homo_sapiens/dna/ and ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/grch37/originate-84/gtf/homo_sapiens/ (for human hg19 genome); ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/originate-84/fasta/mus_musculus/dna/ and ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/originate-84/gtf/mus_musculus/ (for mouse mm10 genome). All other raw data passe for plotting within the figures are supplied as source data. Offer data are supplied with this paper.
