Integrating neuroimaging and gene expression data using the imaging transcriptomics toolbox

The integration of neuroimaging and transcriptomics data, Imaging Transcriptomics, is becoming increasingly popular but standardized workflows for its implementation are still lacking. We describe the Imaging Transcriptomics toolbox, a new package that implements a full imaging transcriptomics pipeline using a user-friendly, command line interface. This toolbox allows the user to identify patterns of gene expression which correlates with a specific neuroimaging phenotype and perform gene set enrichment analyses to inform the biological interpretation of the findings using up-to-date methods. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Martins et al. (2021).
