mouse atlas GXD query interface
Home Atlas Database Resources Contact Site Search

MA-GXDQuery allows you to browse predefined sections through mouse embryos from Theiler Stages 7 to 14 in transverse, frontal and sagittal orientations and Theiler Stage 20 in transverse sections.
  • Use the representation of the whole embryo in the lefthand window as a navigation for slice direction and location. By moving the cursor over the section in the center window the the anatomy is highlighted in blue and the anatomy name is displayed at the top. 
  • Click on the anatomy to lock the highlighted tissue. The name is displayed at the top of the section window, and in the pull down list below the section.
  • Select "No Selected Component" or click "Deselect" to release the highlighted tissue.
  • The relationship between displayed anatomy section and anatomy tree is two way, any anatomy present in a particular slice will be labeled with a "*" in the anatomy window. 
  • Click on the anatomy tree, if a "*" is present against an anatomical component the selected part will be highlighted in the displayed section.
  • Double clicking on a component in the anatomy tree, or using the right mouse button (browser dependent) brings up a small pop up menu. Select the option "find gene expression" to link to the MGI gene expression database. 
  • Above the navigation windows, select 3D navigation to get a rotating reference embryo. 
Known bugs in Internet Explorer: If the browser freezes whilst you are changing to a stage greater than TS15, click the "Refresh" button on your browser.
