Finally, community input on all aspects of this framework can be provided in the Allen Brain Map Community Forum. Step-by-step instructions and associated code for applying the CCN to any cell typing analysis can be found on GitHub. Details of the CCN (version 12-2020) are described in a publication in eLife by Miller, et al. As an outcome of this workshop, a framework for developing nomenclatures-called the Common Cell Type Nomenclature, or CCN-was constructed.Īn overview of this framework is presented here. The Cell Type Ontology Workshop (held at the Allen Institute in Seattle, June 17-18, 2019) convened experts in the fields of ontology, taxonomy, and neuroscience to make recommendations, highlight best practices and propose conventions for naming cell types. Yet it is necessary to have an accurate and flexible nomenclature to describe and analyze existing and upcoming data that is at the cellular level. The challenge of a colloquial and intuitive naming convention is problematic for any ontology or taxonomy.
