MENGA 3.1

MENGA is a platform for the integration of imaging data and Allen Human Brain Atlas mRNA data. MENGA aims to provide a comprehensive environment to investigate correlation patterns between various imaging modalities and gene expression profiles based on the Allen Brain Atlas.<br>This is the new version (MENGA 3.1), that includes two independent adds-on to use with MENGA (MENGA_GENE_EXPRESSION and MENGA_GENOMIC_PLOT). <br>Briefly, the first add-on extracts mRNA data in log2 values in case one wants to analyse only transcriptome data; the second extracts mRNA data in linear scale to be used to implement the <b><i>genomic plot </i></b>(<b>doi: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2016.01.058</b>). <br>Therefore, the processed ABA database has remained the same: if you already have downloaded MENGA 3.0, you just need to download the updated code (code_MENGA_31.zip) and the updated manual.If you don't have the full database, you can find it at: <b>https://ndownloader.figshare.com/files/3991162</b> (MENGA 3.0 in figshare).<br>There are two main files: "code_MENGA_31.zip" contains all the code files, "MANUAL_MENGA_31_20160427" contains the updated manual.<br>The files can be found also at <b>http://fair.dei.unipd.it/require-software/</b> or <b>http://www.nitrc.org/projects/menga/ </b>or <b>https://github.com/FAIR-CNS/MENGA</b>.<br>We have now published the reference paper of MENGA on PlosOne, in which all the aspects of the software and its functionalities are described in details:<b>http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0148744</b><br>Current version is 3.1
