These microarray data form the foundation for a publicly accessible online atlas, which includes viewers for microarray data visualization and mining, MRI/histology/sample location, and three-dimensional (3D) visualization of MRI and gene expression. To complement and validate the microarray data, several targeted, large-scale in situ hybridization (ISH) data sets were generated using a high-throughput ISH platform1, 8. All of these data are linked with the other databases available via the Allen Brain Atlas data portal (http://www.brain-map.org) to facilitate comparative analyses with developing and adult mouse, rhesus macaque and human.
