Gene Map of Human Brains May Lead to New Drug Discoveries, Allen Institute for Brain Science Scientists Say

Bloomberg -- Scientists have created a $55 million interactive map that shows where genes are activated in the human brain, an aid to researchers developing treatments for disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and autism. The Allen Institute for Brain Science, based in Seattle, mapped two brains to create the system, said Allan Jones, the chief executive officer, in a telephone interview.
