  The imminent release of tissue atlases combining multi-channel microscopy
with single cell sequencing and other omics data from normal and diseased
specimens creates an urgent need for data and metadata standards that guide
data deposition, curation and release. We describe a Minimum Information about
highly multiplexed Tissue Imaging (MITI) standard that applies best practices
developed for genomics and other microscopy data to highly multiplexed tissue
images and traditional histology.
