Data Types

EMAGE contains data generated by the following methods:

• in situ hybridisation (ISH) directed against mRNA or microRNAs.
  
• immunohistochemistry (IHC) directed against proteins.
  
• in situ reporter (ISR) data generated by genetic methods e.g. gene knock-in reporters and gene traps.
• enhancer data generated by genetic methods that utilise a lacZ reporter.
  
  

The specimens include:

• whole embryos or parts of embryos ("whole-mounts")
  
• sectioned material (physically or optically sectioned)
• 3D Optical Projection Tomography (OPT) reconstructions
  
  

The raw data images can be:

• conventional 2D photographs (of sections or wholemount specimens)
• 3D images of wholemount specimens derived from Optical Projection Tomography (OPT) or confocal microscopy
