I like the visualisation I can produce for my genes of interest, and would like to export that for presentation purposes, referencing the tool of course. Is this possible? And how could I go about doing this?

Currently I don’t think you can download the visualizations directly; however, the TSNE/UMAP coordinates are available from the “2D\_coordinates.csv” file in the relevant data download table from [our RNASEQ page](https://portal.brain-map.org/atlases-and-data/rnaseq). If you’re fluent in R, some of our scientists have developed a nice package for visualization of single cell RNA-seq data called [scrattch.vis](https://github.com/AllenInstitute/scrattch.vis), which can do heatmaps, bar plots, violin plots, dot plots, etc.
