What do EMAGE:IDs with an R in them signify (such as EMAGE:R12345)?
A. These IDs represent entries in our data warehouse, the EMAGE ‘repository’. These data have been externally sourced and have not yet been scrutinised by an EMAGE curator. They can be accessed by Quick Search only. The mimimum amount of information held for these entries is: Data Source; Gene/Protein assayed; Detection Reagent used; Theiler Stage (usually approximated from the dpc value and not based on actual morphological criteria); the stage given by the data submitter (usually as dpc value, sometimes as numbers of somites); Assay type (ISH/ISR/IHC); Specimen type (WM/section); whether the specimen is wild-type or a mutant (and if a mutant, the allele is indicated); and an image (or set of images) of the specimen.
