accelerating science for a healthier world
@alleninstitute.orgMapMyCells is one of our most popular #OpenScience tools and for good reason!
Scientists anywhere can discover what cell types their transcriptomics and spatial data corresponds with by comparing their data to massive, high-quality reference datasets.
@alleninstitute.orgHappy #FluorescenceFriday! Our #CellLineOfTheWeek is a 3-for-1 and fluoresces fibrillarin, nucleophosmin, and dCas9-KRAB! 🦀🧫
Our cell lines & plasmids are openly available to accelerate scientific discovery.

@alleninstitute.orgA map of normal development gives researchers a baseline for understanding birth defects, cancer, and more, revealing when and where cells go off course. The full tree is public via an interactive browser called NextCell: nextcell.seattlehub.org
@alleninstitute.orgUsing tech called DNA Typewriter, which writes genetic stamps into a cell’s genome every time it divides, the team was able to read 1.58 million cell nuclei to reconstruct the whole lineage. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
@alleninstitute.orgScientists at Seattle Hub for Synthetic Biology just built the largest cellular family tree ever for a mammal, tracing how a single egg divided into 1.28 million cells. bit.ly/4zqcRjh
@alleninstitute.orgThe Cell Type Knowledge Explorer allows anyone to explore the diversity and complexity of the mouse, human, and non-human primate brain.

@alleninstitute.orgGlia gang, this is for you!
In this video by our #ElectronMicroscopy team, shows a pyramidal neuron (PyC) surrounded by 8 glia brain cells – 5 microglia (MG) and 3 oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC).
@alleninstitute.orgApplications are open for the #LakeConference on Modeling Life from Cells to Tissues – co-hosted with Circuit Neuroscience Basel.
📆 March 21-25, 2027
📍 Seattle, USA
🧠 All career stages welcomed.
Apply to attend by December 10: https://lakeconferences.org/conf/8334d9bf-9bbd-488a-8ffc-2232ac1a3545
@alleninstitute.orgCongratulations to Karl Deisseroth, who sits on our Brain Science Scientific Advisory Council! Alongside Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel, Karl Deisseroth received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.
@alleninstitute.orgSpend less time processing cell images with the Allen Cell Structure Segmenter.
This #OpenScience python-based toolkit helps #cellscience researchers navigate complex images by automatically capturing the boundaries of structures.

@alleninstitute.org"For me, biology is ultimately a design challenge."
Sanjay Srivatsan, principal investigator of AI BioDesign, says new accelerator will use AI to understand biological patterns and use those patterns to find solutions to biological problems. Inside Precision Medicine reports: https://bit.ly/4yoOmm9
@alleninstitute.orgHow does a small pool of stem cells build a brain with hundreds of cell types, each in the right place? A new Nature paper from UCSF and the Allen Institute follows the forebrain's family tree to find out. Read the paper in Nature: https://go.nature.com/4hzn31v
