This workshop will be a 3-day interactive event with targeted and coordinated presentations, panel discussions, and demonstrations with the following goals:

Foster the development of data standards for the integration and annotation of single-cell genomics data.
Systemize and automate the process of data to information to knowledge and develop pipelines where feasible
Shed new insights on brain cell functional studies by using cell atlasing data and cell type-specific targeting tools.
Develop strategies with brain disease research communities to maximally leverage BICCN/BICAN data.
Develop a community roadmap for the analysis and annotation of single-cell data.
The overarching BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlasing Program goal is to build reference brain cell atlases that will be widely used throughout the research community, providing a molecular and anatomical foundational framework for the study of brain function and disease.
