Overview

The Allen Brain Atlas is a project within the Allen Institute for Brain Science which seeks to combine genomics with neuroanatomy by creating gene expression maps for the mouse brain. It was initiated in September 2003 with a $100 million donation from Paul G. Allen. The atlas went public in September 2006. Not all known genes have been mapped at this point but approximately 20,000 protein-coding mRNAs have been. Data were generated using automated high-throughput procedures for in situ hybridization and data acquisition, and are publicly accessible online. Work on the brain atlas was performed by the Allen Institute for Brain Science, which is located in Seattle, Washington, 551 N 34th Street, 98102 (the Fremont neighborhood).
