The Seattle Allen Institute for Brain Science, on July 16, 2008, launched the $ 41 million online "Allen Spinal Cord Atlas" (backed by Paul Allen) mouse gene map. It's first release included 4,000 sets of digital images (of 20,000 genes, 30 trillion bytes of data, by year end) of adult and juvenile mice spinal cords. Allan Jones, chief scientific officer, said: "The Allen Spinal Cord Atlas offers profound potential for researchers to unlock the mysteries of the spinal cord and how it is altered during disease or injury." The spinal cord atlas is set up like the Allen Institute's earlier atlas of the mouse brain.
