Retrieve expression data from Allen Brain Atlas API

Question

[randalljellis]

Hello,

The Allen Brain Atlas curates gene expression data for different regions of the brain. I am currently looking at the thalamus and have a list of genes I want to extract the expression values for. Here is an example.

On the graph below the picture it shows the expression levels for various brain regions. I'm looking to write a script in python that will send each gene in my list as a query to the Allen Brain Atlas's API and extract the expression value for each gene in the thalamus.

Does anyone have any experience with this? The Allen Brain Atlas's docs aren't very helpful. Thank you in advance!

Sorry for announcing it here, but perhaps you'll have more luck/answers in the sister Neuro community of BioStars.
