Fate mapping the mouse embryo
Published: 1 October 1993
Abstract
The use of clonal analysis to obtain a fate map of the epiblast of the mouse embryo and to investigate cell distribution during gastrulation and early neurulation is described in a personal reminiscence. A revised fate map of the epiblast at 6.5 days gestation is provided, and the development of 3-dimensional, quantitative image analysis techniques outlined.
