Towards a Tralfamadorian view of the embryo: multidimensional imaging of development

An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

Biological problems such as embryonic development require tools to follow cell and tissue movements as well as the distribution of active genes. A variety of emerging imaging techniques offer the capability of fully rendering the three-dimensional structure of the embryo, and some offer the possibility of following changes directly over time. The data sets that result offer both new insights and new challenges. A framework of digital atlases will soon offer the integration of different imaging modalities and permit users to interact with multidimensional data sets.
