Hi everyone,

We’ve released an update to the [abc\_atlas\_access](https://github.com/AllenInstitute/abc_atlas_access/) package. This update adds the MERFISH imputed gene data created in [Yao et al.](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06812-z), adding more than 8k genes to the MERFISH dataset. You can find more details in the page describing the data [here](https://alleninstitute.github.io/abc_atlas_access/descriptions/MERFISH-C57BL6J-638850-imputed.html) and a tutorial notebook showing examples on interacting with the data [here](https://alleninstitute.github.io/abc_atlas_access/notebooks/merfish_imputed_genes_example.html).

The update includes a few improvements to the Python code, including a simpler instantiation of the cache object used for downloading and tracking files on disk.

These data will be available in the ABC Atlas in the near future.

Chris
