The Allen Brain Atlas: Neurogenomics Meets Neuroinformatics
Modern high throughput approaches to neuroscience offer unprecedented opportunities and challenges for informatics and technology.
The Allen Brain Atlas is a genomic scale survey of gene expression in the standard laboratory mouse brain as high resolution images. The atlas has been mapped into a common reference space enabling effective search and localization of genes in the brain.
In this talk we surveyed the methods, tools, and uses of this atlas and some of its implications for neuroscience research.
The event took place on Thursday, 20th August 2009 at the Brown Theatre, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Building (Building 193)
The University of Melbourne - Parkville, Victoria 3010.
