Editing Allen Brain Atlas (section)

===Mouse Spinal Cord===
Unveiled in July 2008, the Allen Mouse Spinal Cord Atlas was the first genome-wide map of the mouse spinal cord ever constructed. The spinal cord atlas is a map of genome wide gene expression in the spinal cord of adult and juvenile C57 black mice. The initial unveiling included data for 2,000 genes and an anatomical reference section. A plan for the future includes expanding the amount of data to about 20,000 genes spanning the full length of the spinal cord.

The aim of the spinal cord atlas is to enhance research in the treatment of spinal cord injury, diseases, and disorders such as Lou Gehrig's diseases and spinal muscular atrophy. The project was funded by an array of donors including the Allen Research Institute, [[Paralyzed Veterans of America]] Research Foundation, the [[ALS Association]], [[Wyeth Research]], PEMCO Insurance, [[National Multiple Sclerosis Society]], International Spinal Research Trust, and many other organizations, foundations, corporate and private donors.<ref>{{  cite web | last = Duyo | first = D. | title = The Allen Spinal Cord Atlas Unveiled | publisher = American Medical Writers Association | date = September 2008 | url = http://www.amwa-midatlantic.org/archive/2008SpinalAtlas.html | access-date = 20 April 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120227151844/http://www.amwa-midatlantic.org/archive/2008SpinalAtlas.html | archive-date = 27 February 2012 | url-status = dead }}</ref>
