Genomic architecture is based on the manipulation of the architectural genome. Like its biological counterpart, this genome is universal and encompasses all architecture — past, present and future. ...Allen Brain Atlas
Paul G. Allen had a vision that recent advances in computer science, bioinformatics, image analysis and the sequencing of the human genome could be brought together to answer one of the most complex questions in human biology—what is the brain and how does it work? He brought this vision to a renowned group of neuroscientists and advisors, and the Allen Institute for Brain Science was born. The Allen Brain Atlas is the institutes publicly accessible map of the brain. [launch brain-map.org]
While Paul Allen’s Brain Atlas gets kudos for quantity, the quality if poor. Hopefully they will remedy this. Also, their interface seems bloated, slow, and klunky, but this is just a web-coding issue that I’m sure they fix.
