The Ontology of developmental anatomy of zebrafish
Following the production of a 3D digital atlas of zebrafish development a controlled vocabulary for the zebrafish developmental anatomy was compiled. This controlled vocabulary is entended with relations by which it turned into a genuine ontology. Several tools have ben developed to view the content of the ontology.
Database of zebrafish developmental anatomy ontology
[Zebrafish Anatomy Database]A database of the zebrafish ontology was designed to be able to manage patterns of gene expression. The database was originally designed as an Informix Dynamic Server database. As of the beginning of 2009 it was transferred to a mySQL database. The application will start in a new window and the interface should be self-explanotory. For any problems with the Java-applet first check the java=console in your browser.
