The Allen Developing Mouse Brain Atlas provides in situ hybridization (ISH) image data for approximately 2,000 genes over embryonic and postnatal timepoints. Each data set is processed through an informatics analysis pipeline to obtain spatially mapped quantified expression information.
...
The atlas volume dimension and resolution for each ReferenceSpace vary with age, scanning platform and gene sampling density as listed in the table below.
