The Next Generation Embryology Project
3D developmental atlases are used in research for
capture, collation and analysis of spatio-temporal data such as in situ
gene-expression. The most advanced systems are based on a temporal
series of 3D models. Examples are the EADHB human embryo atlas in
Newcastle and the e-MouseAtlas in Edinburgh. In this project, we use the
3D spatio-temporal frameworks in conjunction with a repository to
deliver research and educational materials directly in the context of
the developing embryo. The interface of the prototype NG-Embryo portal
is similar to that of Google Maps, while the functionality it provides
is similar to that of Wikimapia.
