This Genome News Network articlediscusses the similarity between a mouse's chromosome 16 and that of a human. In the Allen Brain Atlas, you can search for genes that appear on chromosome 16 in mice by using the query chromosome=16.

The NYTimes.com mentions the gene syntrophin, gamma 1 (Sntg1) in a story about continuing selection pressures on human genes.

CYP1A2has been studied in humans for its role in coffee metabolism. A Nature article explains:
"In the new study, researchers specifically tested whether caffeine in coffee could promote heart problems by examining a gene called CYP1A2. The gene, which codes for an enzyme that helps to break down caffeine, comes in two flavours: one version, known as CYP1A2*1F, metabolizes caffeine more slowly than the other."

John H. came to me last week inquiring about the ability to print an image from the Single Image Viewer without the Navigation Control.  At the time, I didn't think about it but there's actually an easy way to do this.

Launch the Single Image Viewer.  Click on "More Tools" and  select Image Viewer Setup.  Look at the below screen shot for example.

Allen Institute Rolls Out 3D Brain Atlas Viewer;

This paper was published in Science and the authors find that

LMO4

is more highly expressed on the right than in the left hemisphere.  The ABA has data for this gene in both the sagittal and the coronal planes.
