The e-Mouse Atlas Project
The e-Mouse Atlas Project. EMAP is the combined research projects of Dr Duncan Davidson and Prof Richard Baldock. Resources provided by EMAP are the EMA Anatomy Atlas of Mouse Development and the EMAGE Gene Expression Database.
The EMA Anatomy Atlas of Mouse Development uses embryological mouse models to provide a digital atlas of mouse development. It is based on the definitive books of mouse embryonic development by Theiler (1989) and Kaufman (1992) yet extends these studies by creating a series of three dimensional computer models of mouse embryos at successive stages of development with defined anatomical domains linked by a stage-by-stage ontology of anatomical names.
We deliver the digital atlas in two formats where the models can either be viewed using the original high resolution histological sections or by IIP server technology where the full 3D object can be viewed in any aspect. At present we are rebuilding the anatomy ontologies and this will be released presently.
