Object-based representation and analysis of light and electron microscopic volume data using Blender.BACKGROUND
 Here we exploit the advanced visualization capabilities and flexibility of the open-source platform Blender to visualize and analyze anatomical atlases.  We build object-based larval gene expression atlases in Blender and develop tools for annotation and coexpression analysis.  We demonstrate the power and flexibility of Blender for visualizing and exploring complex anatomical atlases.  The flexibility of Blender, particularly its embedded Python application programming interface, means that our methods can be easily extended to other organisms.
