Brain Cell Atlas: From Data to Knowledge Base

The goal of this concept is to continue supporting an integrated BRAIN® Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) Coordinating Unit for Biostatistics, Informatics, and Engagement (CUBIE) that will (i) enable the exploration of large-scale brain cell atlas data and knowledge, (ii) inspire research in brain function and disorders, and (iii) ensure research rigor and data reproducibility by making the data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). This will provide the foundation for a knowledge base with consensus brain cell taxonomies, ontologies, and community data standards.
