What is the emap Atlas?
The emap Atlas is a digital Atlas of mouse embryonic 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 interactive three-dimensional computer models of mouse embryos at successive stages of development with defined anatomical domains linked to a stage-by-stage ontology of anatomical names. At least one representative model embryo for every Theiler stage (TS) from TS07 to TS20 and one for TS26 is included in the Atlas. A guide to Theiler staging of mouse embryos is also included.
