List of genes expressed in neurons

Model Organism: Worms Methods & Reagents

I want a full list of genes expressed in any neurons. Is there a simple way to do this? I’ve checked Worm Mart but I can’t find any easy way to specify in the filter section that I want all genes expressed in any type of neuron.

you can do this with wormmart, not now but when it is back to be fully functional; consult Example 6 in this write up http://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/Data_mining:WormMart.

for now, a simple yet less intuitive way is to use WQL http://wormbase.org/db/searches/wb_query
this query “find Anatomy_term IS “WBbt:0003679”; >Expr_descendent; >Gene” will produce a list of genes expressed in any neuron. (2365 in WS222).
