Did you know you can build a complete 2D human neuroanatomical atlas from scratch entirely in #RStats, using @AllenInstitute data + some handy computational geometry, and plot structures using #ggplot? It's a fast-ish process too! Here my tutorial: github.com/langleylab/bra…
1/n
1/n
Among the things you can do: plotting structures of interest on the 3 axes, choosing different slices for each axis. Each structure is drawn independently and automatically. 2/n 
If you can match structures across datasets, you can plot other types of data such as RNA-seq gene expression from GTEx, BrainSpan or any other bulk transcriptomics dataset: 3/n
I'll turn this into a package, but I also rarely see the process of making one, so I thought it would be interesting to share my work in progress. Some issues still need to be solved, and code has to be cleaned up, but so far it seems to work. Feedback is welcome! 4/4
