Next Generation Embryology: Using 3D embryo atlas frameworks for research and education

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. In this talk, I will be giving a brief demonstration of the portal.

The Next-Generation Embryology Project

Demonstration of the Next Generation Embryology portal (prototype, version 0.1) at Newcastle University.

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. Here we propose to use the 3D spatio-temporal frameworks in conjunction with a repository to deliver research and educational material directly in the context of the developing embryo. The primary interface will be similar in function to the familiar Google Maps but with full 3D indexing, spatial annotation and the overlay visualisation of complex spatial patterns. The project will deliver an integrated repository for embryology and developmental biology and open-source tools and APIs to enable institutions to build their own research and educational materials in the 3D framework.

Screencast: annotating embryo models on-line in a web browser

Jano.van.Hemert — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:00:44 +0000

Screencast of a prototype for the JISC-funded project "Next Generation Embryology" where biologists can annotate 3D objects that represent models of mouse and human embryos with arbitrary bits of information held in a DSpace repository. Here we show what the interface looks like.

The idea and architecture is very similar to how Google Maps allows annotating the earth; here the Edinburgh Mouse Atlas provides the model and the anatomical annotation---similar to maps on the earth. This new system then allows anyone to overlay their own information on top of these models.

It was developed by Gagarine Yaikhom at the School of Informatics of the University of Edinburgh, UK in conjunction with Institute for Human Genetics of Newcastle University, UK. It was built on top of a browser-based image viewer developed at the Human Genetics Unit of the Medical Research Council of the UK.

We introduce the Next Generation Embryology project: Next Generation in two ways. First, because its aim is to revolutionise the way the next generation of developmental biologists are educated. Where instead of relying on plastic models and diagrams in books, the idea is to use a digital library that is indexed using virtual 3D models of mouse and human embryos. Second, in terms of next generation technology: this digital library will be navigated and used in the same way as people annotate and learn about the surface of the earth: by using their web browser and a Google Maps type interface.
