New Brain Atlas Unveils 3-D Gene Map
Scientists Hope New Knowledge Will Lead to Breakthroughs in Mental Disorders
By QUIANA BURNS
Sept. 26, 2006 — - It is being called a scientific breakthrough for a problem that affects about 26 percent of American adults, or 57.7 million people.
The problem: mental disorders. The breakthrough: the Allen Brain Atlas. It is a Web-based, 3-D map of gene expression in the brain of a mouse, created by the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle. Microsoft co-founder Paul G. Allen provided $100 million to launch the Allen Institute and the Atlas project in 2003.
After three years and a look at more than 21,000 genes at the cellular level, scientists say the atlas gives them an amount of data that has never been available until now.
"We've captured 85 million images. That would be like filling 20,000 iPods!" said Allan Jones, the institute's chief scientific officer, at a press conference Tuesday in Washington, D.C.
So how will [...!]
