3D models of mouse embryonic development (stl, converted from EMAP)

A collection of readily-usable volumetric models for all tissues and stages of mouse peri-implantation development as extracted from the eMouse Atlas Project (E5.0 to E9.0), as well as custom-made models of all pre-implantation stages (E0 to E4.0). These models have been converted to a commonly used 3D format (.stl), and are provided in ready-made files for digital exploration and illustration.

Specifically:

individual .stl models of embryonic subcomponents for each developmental stage (e.g. epiblast, visceral endoderm; 1 folder per EMAP embryonic stage)

ready-made .blend files where such components have been reassembled as a full embryo model, and in a scene with pre-prepared light sources and aligned camera (1 file per embryonic stage)

a .blend file with all embryonic models provided arranged in a temporal lineup; and a .blend file with a "starter-pack" of pre-made materials to use for easy illustration.

Also included are two data tables:

"EMAP_key.xlsx" indicating the source of its model, and the embryonic stage corresponding to each Theiler Stage

 "EMAP_partslist.xlsx" containing the original name of each embryonic component provided (as used in EMAP), and the corresponding name used in this dataset.
