The Embryo Digital Atlas

The Embryo Digital Atlas is a web based platform for curious citizens, students and scientists, to visualize complex experimental datasets of embryogenesis in an easy and beautiful way.

Using The Embryo Digital Atlas

We foresee the following uses of our platform:

• Exploring complex datasets by varying time steps, changing modalities and colors, changing datasets, model organisms (fly, zebrafish, human embryos)

• Sharing knowledge about datasets and teaching each other by tagging images.

• Generating beautiful visualizations and exporting for publications or presentations.
