Allen Brain Atlas API
The Allen Institute for Brain Science offers programmatic access of its published data through an application programming interface (API).
Data made available includes:
- High resolution images for gene expression, connectivity, and histology experiments, as well as annotated atlas images
- 3-D expression summaries registered to a reference space for the Mouse Brain and Developing Mouse Brain
- Primary microarray results for the Human Brain and Non-Human Primate
- RNA sequencing results for the Developing Human Brain
- MRI and DTI files for Human Brain
The API consists of the following resources:
- RESTful model access
- Image download service
- 3-D expression summary download service
- Differential expression search services
- NeuroBlast correlative searches
- Image-to-image synchronization service
- Structure graph download service
