Proper Citation: EMAGE Gene Expression Database (RRID:SCR_005391)

Description: A database of in situ gene expression data in the developing mouse embryo and an accompanying suite of tools to search and analyze the data. mRNA in situ hybridization, protein immunohistochemistry and transgenic reporter data is included. The data held is spatially annotated to a framework of 3D mouse embryo models produced by EMAP (e-Mouse Atlas Project). These spatial annotations allow users to query EMAGE by spatial pattern as well as by gene name, anatomy term or Gene Ontology (GO) term. The conceptual framework which houses the descriptions of the gene expression patterns in EMAGE is the EMAP Mouse Embryo Anatomy Atlas. This consists of a set of 3D virtual embryos at different stages of development, as well as an accompanying ontology of anatomical terms found at each stage. The raw data images can be conventional 2D photographs (of sections or wholemount specimens) or 3D images of wholemount specimens derived from Optical Projection Tomography (OPT) or confocal microscopy. Users may submit data using a Data submission tool or without.
