The GENSAT project aims to map the expression of genes in the central nervous system of the mouse, using both in situ hybridization and transgenic mouse techniques.

It is a collection of pictorial gene expression maps of the brain and spinal cord of the mouse. Using EGFP BAC-transgenics, this project provides the scientific community with tools to catalog, map, and electrophysiologically record from individual cells.

The application of Cre recombinase technologies allows for cell-specific gene manipulation. The transgenic mice created by this project are available to the scientific community.
