The Human Biomolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) is a program funded by the US National Institutes of Health to characterize the human body at single cell resolution, integrated to other efforts such as the Human Cell Atlas. [1] Among the products of the program is the Azimuth reference datasets for single-cell RNA seq data [2] [3] and the ASCT+B Reporter, a visualization tool for anatomical structures, cell types and biomarkers. [4] [5]

Millitomes are used to create uniformly sized tissue blocks that match the shape and size of organs from HuBMAP's 3D Reference Object Library. [6]

The HuBMAP received 27 million US dollars of funding from the NIH in 2020 and about 28.5 million in 2021. [7]
