The Edinburgh Mouse Atlas - data-resource and analysis tool

Synopsis: 

At the MRC Human Genetics Unit we have developed the mouse embryo atlas (emouseatlas.org) to capture gene-expression data fro the developing mouse embryo. This has entailed the building of an atlas framework to capture data, allow cross-comparison and analysis of expression patterns and to generate hypotheses of gene inter rations important for embryo development. It also provides a tool for capturing anatomical knowledge and teaching. I will present the resource and how it was developed and show more recent developments in terms of spatial analysis of 3D patterns of expression.
