This Python package utilizes spatial, anatomical, microarray expression data from the Allen Institute for Brain Science. This program maps genes of interest (Goi) by their levels of expression to brain regions (Roi). The identified regions that co-express the input Goi can, in turn, be studied further with many experimental modalities. This program can be customized to map gene expression data and identify significant Roi from similar reference expression data in other contexts outside of neuroscience.
