The purpose of this meeting is for investigators involved in gene expression brain mapping to compare notes, to discuss problems and to strategize for future solutions. The workshop will focus on the nuts and bolts of gene expression mapping. Our speakers will summarize problems encountered in image formats, image resolution and queries, as well as problems encountered inputting and analyzing gene expression data using digital atlases. Key to the success of this meeting is attempting to analyze at least one data set with one informatics tool before coming to the meeting.

Two general themes will be used to provide some structure to the discussion. One will focus on gene expression image databases, such as GENSAT. Another will focus on analysis and annotation of gene expression maps. We have grouped the participants for the two themes just for the purposes of initiating discussions, but everyone is expected to participate in the discussion of both themes.
