The Whole Human Brain Ontology project constructs a data-driven cell-type ontology of the human brain. This project utilizes high-throughput single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) data to build a comprehensive understanding of the molecular and cellular diversity within the human brain.
WHBO aims to construct a robust and hierarchical ontology that organizes brain cell types based on shared gene expression patterns, functional properties, and anatomical locations.

The latest version of the ontology can always be found at:

(note this will not show up until the request has been approved by obofoundry.org)
Editors of this ontology should use the edit version, src/ontology/whbo-edit.owl
Please use this GitHub repository's Issue tracker to request new terms/classes or report errors or specific concerns related to the ontology.
This ontology repository was created using the Ontology Development Kit (ODK).
