Cell-type-specific computational neuroanatomy, simulations from the sagittal and coronal Allen Brain Atlas
The Allen Atlas of the adult mouse brain is a brain-wide, genome-wide data set that has been made available online, triggering a renaissance in neuroanatomy. In particular, it has been used to define brain regions in a computational, data-driven way, and to estimate the region-specificity of cell types characterized independently by their transcriptional activity. However, these results were based on one series of co-registered (coronal) ISH image series per gene, whereas the online ABA contains several image series per genes, including sagittal ones. Since the sagittal series cover mostly the left hemisphere, we can simulate the variability of results by repeatedly drawing a random image series for each gene and restricting the computation to the left hemisphere. This gives rise to an estimate of error bars on the results of computational neuroanatomy.

Computational neuroanatomy: mapping cell-type densities in the mouse brain, simulations from the Allen Brain Atlas
The Allen Brain Atlas (ABA) of the adult mouse consists of digitized expression profiles of thousands of genes in the mouse brain, co-registered to a common three-dimensional template (the Allen Reference Atlas). This br…
SpecificityMathematical modelling of cancer invasion: Phenotypic transitioning provides insight into multifocal foci formation
The transition from the epithelial to mesenchymal phenotype and its reverse (from mesenchymal to epithelial) are crucial processes necessary for the progression and spread of cancer. In this paper, we investigate how phe…
PrognosisTopological Data Analysis of Spatial Patterning in Heterogeneous Cell Populations: Clustering and Sorting with Varying Cell-Cell Adhesion
Different cell types aggregate and sort into hierarchical architectures during the formation of animal tissues. The resulting spatial organization depends (in part) on the strength of adhesion of one cell type to itself …

Single-cell technologies provide an unprecedented opportunity for dissecting the interplay between the cancer cells and the associated tumor microenvironment, and the produced high-dimensional omics data should also augm…
Automated brain parcellation rendering and visualization in R with coldcuts
Parcellations are fundamental tools in neuroanatomy, allowing researchers to place functional imaging and molecular data within a structural context in the brain. Visualizing these parcellations is critical to guide biol…
