چکیده

The Edinburgh Mouse Atlas, also called the e-Mouse Atlas Project (EMAP), is an online resource comprised of the e-Mouse Atlas (EMA), a detailed digital model of mouse [7] development, and the e-Mouse Atlas of Gene Expression (EMAGE), a database that identifies sites of gene expression in mouse [7] embryos. Duncan Davidson and Richard Baldock founded the project in 1992, and the Medical Research Council (MRC) in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, funds the project. Davidson and Baldock announced the project in an article titled "A Real Mouse for Your Computer," citing the need to manage and analyze the volume of data that overwhelmed developmental biologists. Though EMAP resources were distributed via CDROM in the early years, the project moved increasingly online by the early 2000s. Into the early decades of the twenty-first century, it was in active development. EMAP can be utilized as a developmental biology teaching resource and as a research tool that enables scientists to explore annotated 3D virtual mouse [7] embryos. EMAP's goal is to illuminate the molecular basis of tissue differentiation [8].

The Edinburgh Mouse Atlas and Gene-Expression Database: A Spatio-Temporal Database for Biological Research

The Edinburgh Mouse Atlas Project (EMAP) has developed a digital atlas of mouse development which provides a bioinformatics framework to spatially reference biological data. The EMAP core database contains 3D grey-level reconstructions of the mouse embryo at various stages of development [3], a systematic nomenclature of the embryo anatomy, and defined 3D regions (domains) of the embryo. The re...

Developing the eHistology Atlas

The eMouseAtlas project has undertaken to generate a new resource providing access to high-resolution colour images of the slides used in the renowned textbook 'The Atlas of Mouse Development' by Matthew H. Kaufman. The original histology slides were digitized, and the associated anatomy annotations captured for display in the new resource. These annotations were assigned to objects in the stan...

Formalization of mouse embryo anatomy

MOTIVATION The Edinburgh Mouse Atlas and Gene Expression Database project has developed a digital atlas of mouse development to provide a spatio-temporal framework for spatially mapped data such as in situ gene expression and cell lineage. As part of this database, a mouse embryo anatomy ontology has been created. A formalization of this anatomy is required to document its precise semantics and...

Morphologic Variation in the Osteopetrotic Op/Op Mouse Skeleton

SUMMARY This study is designed to confirm the changes of various bones in the osteopetrotic op/op mouse. The female adult mouse were sonicated in papain solution. After the complete treatment, the bones (Skull, Mandible, Scapula, Humerus, Radius, Ulna, Hip, Femure, Tibia, Atlas, Axis and 5th Lumbar vertebra) were measured three dimensionally using of high quality scale and low power binocular ...
