Once or twice a day, I walk around and chat with lab members who are not too busy. These chats last from twenty minutes to over an hour. I check in with each lab member at least once a week, if not more. I have an open door policy and frequently have multi-hour discussions with lab members who walk in.

Our goal is to develop automated methods to relate spatial variation in gene expression to anatomy. We want to find marker genes for specific anatomical regions, and also to draw new anatomical maps based on gene expression patterns. We will validate these methods by applying them to 46 anatomical areas within the cerebral cortex, using the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas coronal dataset (ABA). %%This gene expression dataset was generated using ISH, and contains over 4,000 genes. For each gene, a digitized 3-D raster of the expression pattern is available: for each gene, the level of expression at each of 51,533 voxels is recorded. 4.7 +Modern experimental techniques allow the expression levels of many genes at many locations to be compared.
