Project Number

Convenors

Co-ordination Committee chaired by Dr. Jonathan Bard
(Edinburgh University Medical School, Dept. of Anatomy, Edinburgh, United Kingdom)

Abstract

With the application of the techniques of molecular genetics there has been an explosion of data on the relationship between gene expression and the development of mammalian embryos. Together with centres in Greece, Germany, France, Finland and the Nethelands, the MRC Human Genetics Unit (UK) is developing an interactive textual and graphic database.

Duration

Three years, from June 1993 to June 1996 with extension to May 1997.
