The Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) aims to transform our understanding of brain cell types and the precise tools needed to access them, bringing us one step closer to unraveling the complex workings of the human brain.
Building on findings from the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN), BICAN takes the next step in mapping brain cells and circuits across multiple species, with an emphasis on humans. The aim of BICAN is to generate a complete reference atlas of cell types in the human brain across the lifespan, which can be shared and used throughout the research community. In addition to developing a “parts list” detailing the vast array of neurons and non-neuronal cells in the human brain, the project also aims to map cell interactions that underlie a wide range of brain disorders.
To this end, BICAN aims to support the publication, sharing, and exploration of datasets generated in the course of the project. Creating a complete reference atlas from multiple datasets requires vast harmonization of metadata. In order to facilitate the harmonization of metadata, we require datasets include a small set of metadata available from data submitters.
This document describes a schema, a type of contract, that BICAN requires of all donor to alignment datasets to enable searching, filtering, and integration of datasets.
Note that the requirements in the schema are just the minimum required information. Datasets often have additional metadata, which is preserved in datasets submitted to the data archives.
Overview
The BICAN Macaque Donor and Tissue Metadata schema describes metadata associated with and produced from the preparation of macaque donor and tissue in the HMBA and BICAN. [more detail needed here]
Organisms. Data must be from a Metazoan organism and defined in the NCBI organismal classification.
Redundant Metadata. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to avoid multiple metadata fields containing identical or similar information.
PatchSeq
The data in patchseq is the metadata essential for macaque patchseq experiments.
The following tables describe the patchseq metadata. If an entry in the table is empty, the schema does not have any other requirements on data in those layers beyond the ones listed above.
Curators must annotate the following columns:
