BICAN data resources provide access to molecular, anatomical, and multimodal datasets generated across the consortium. Use this page to find released datasets, understand how they are organized, and locate the repositories and documentation needed to cite and reuse them responsibly.
Explore the rapid release overview and then follow links to the data catalog, repositories and tools that support deeper exploration.
Rapid Release collections provide access to raw BICAN data soon after initial investigator quality review. These collections are designed to accelerate discovery while providing metadata, protocols, README files, and QC context that help researchers evaluate and reuse the data.
Explore Rapid ReleaseNIMP connects donors, tissues, samples, and data products across BICAN workflows. NIMP Analytics supports deeper exploration of specimen metadata, provenance, terminology, and sampling plans.

In this study, we used raw sequence data produced as part of the National Institutes of Health's Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (NIH BRAIN) Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN; RRID:SCR_022794, brain-bican.org) by Velmeshev and Kriegstein (2021) accessed through the Neuroscience Multi-omics Archive (NeMO; RRID:SCR_016152, https://nemoarchive.org/) under accession number: nemo:dat-b3brzfa. Data may be accessed at: https://assets.nemoarchive.org/dat-b3brzfa.
