What do EMAGE:IDs without an R in them signify (such as EMAGE:1234)?
A. These IDs represent full EMAGE entries – i.e. entries from the EMAGE ‘repository’ (see below) that have been scrutinised and added to by an EMAGE curator. They can be accessed by all search methods. The mimimum amount of information held for these entries is: Data Source; Gene/Protein assayed; Detection Reagent used; Theiler Stage (based on actual morphological criteria and not approximated from the dpc value as they are in the ‘repository’); 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); an image (or set of images) of the specimen: and most importantly a spatial and a text annotation, both describing the sites of gene expression.
