REQUEST TO ISSUE TASK ORDER 1 - TASK AREA 1: MANUAL OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE BRAIN INITIATIVE CELL ATLAS NETWORK (BICAN) SEQUENCING CORE CONTRACTS WITH THE BROAD INSTITUTE

脑倡议细胞图谱网络（BICAN）的首要目标是建立参考脑细胞图谱，将在整个研究界使用，为健康和疾病的人类大脑研究创建一个分子和解剖学的基础框架。这种反映不同大脑区域细胞表型和功能异质性的全面和高分辨率分子特征的可用性将有助于探索大脑如何使人体以思维速度记录，处理，利用，存储和检索大量信息的机会。

The overarching goal of the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) is to build reference brain cell atlases that will be used throughout the research community to create a molecular and anatomical foundational framework for the study of the human brain in health and disease. The availability of such comprehensive and high-resolution molecular signatures that reflect cellular phenotypes and functional heterogeneity in diverse brain regions will contribute to opportunities to explore exactly how the brain enables the human body to record, process, utilize, store, and retrieve vast quantities of information, all at the speed of thought.
