Allen Brain Atlas APINEW
DemoNEW

The Allen Brain Atlas (ABA) is an interactive, genome-wide image database of gene expression in the mouse brain. A combination of RNA in situ hybridization data, detailed Reference Atlases and informatics analysis tools are integrated to provide a searchable digital atlas of gene expression. Together, these resources present a comprehensive online platform for exploration of the brain at the cellular and molecular level.

    Explore the Anatomic Gene Expression Atlas

    The Anatomic Gene Expression Atlas (AGEA) is a data-driven, interactive three-dimensional atlas of the adult mouse brain based on Allen Brain Atlas ISH gene expression images. AGEA characterizes the organization of the mouse brain as derived exclusively from gene expression data without reference to classical neuroanatomy. AGEA, which is based on approximately 4,000 coronal gene sets, allows anatomic specification and browsing based on 3-D spatial coordinates and expression threshold control.
