Description

Hi there! As it says in the mapping_cells.md file, I'm filing this to see if it is possible to get allen brain atlas taxonomy mapping files that are not currently available/supported by the online tool. I have a dataset of mouse single cell hippocampus sequencing that I'd like to annotate specifically to the ABA mouse hippocampus annotated cells (from the HPF/hippocampus regions) instead of the whole mouse brain. Are these files something that exists/could be easily generated and shared?

Thanks for your help!

If you are an internal Allen Institute user and just want to map to one of the taxonomies currently supported by the MapMyCells online app, email Scott Daniel, and he can provide you with the appropriate files. If you are an external user and want to map to one of the MapMyCells-supported taxonomies and the online MapMyCells app is for some reason insufficient for your purposes, please file an issue on this repository and we can discuss how to get you the relevant files.

Research direction

Start with mapping_cells.md and review how the online tool represents its currently supported taxonomies. Determine whether hippocampus-specific Allen Brain Atlas taxonomy files exist or can be generated, and identify what would be required to share or support them; the work is complete when the availability and support path are documented or implemented.
