New embryo phenotype data from the DMDD programme

Posted by , on 15 June 2018

Following our latest data release, the DMDD website (dmdd.org.uk) now contains detailed phenotype data for nearly 700 embryos from 82 different knockout mouse lines. Highlights include the identification of limb ...

PhD position: Single-cell elucidation of the evolution of an embryonic transcriptional programme

Posted by , on 3 April 2018

The project: Single-cell approaches are revolutionizing developmental biology. We can now  trace in time the behavior of each cell in a live developing organism (1). In parallel, single-cell transcriptomics and ...

A new set of DMDD embryo and placenta data has been released, taking our total dataset to 9.5 million images of around 1300 embryos. DMDD is a primary screen of ...

Why are geneticists measuring the webbing between mouse embryo fingers?

Posted by , on 21 February 2017

A new paper published in Journal of Anatomy shows that measuring the amount of inter-digital webbing in mouse embryos between 14 and 15 days gestation is the best way to find ...

Transposons in Embryo Space – TRACER maps in EMAGE

Posted by , on 9 February 2017

A recent publication in Developmental Biology by (Armit et al., 2017) describes how the TRACER dataset can be spatially compared with in situ hybridisation gene expression profiles.   The TRACER ...

New phenotype screen examines causes of neonatal death

Posted by , on 4 October 2016

This post first appeared on Annotations, the DMDD blog (blog.dmdd.org.uk). Around a third of targeted gene knockouts in mice are embryonic-lethal. But not all deaths occur during gestation – a ...

New data reveals gene expression during mouse embryo development

Posted by , on 29 September 2016

This article was originally posted on the DMDD website dmdd.org.uk Knowing the ‘normal’ expression of genes during embryo development is key to understanding the differences that occur due to genetic ...
