IMGEM
The IMGEM project is to make semi-quantitative gene expression image database and analysis system widely available to the neuroscience community. Current molecular biological techniques allow us to visualize semi-quantitative levels of gene expression in situ. For example, autoradio-graphical image data from in situ hybridization histochemistry (ISHH) provides a wealth of information, which if made readily available could be beneficial for neuroscience researchers.

Research Plan for 2D
The question to be addressed is how to construct an image database, capable of efficient storage, retrieval, presentation, manipulation and analysis of gene expression 2D image data. The gene expression 2D image data consists of ISHH experimental data from coronal brain sections and sagittal and horizontal data re-sliced from reconstructed 3D data sets. This project also incorporates counterstaining images with Nissl-stain, micro-ISHH images, Internet hyperlinks to PubMed, GenBank and other available information on the network. A true image format is intended to accurately store an image for future editing. Tagged image file format (TIFF) format will be the best format to store the original 2D data of IMGEM.
