TS10

E7· Amnion forms

Three germ layers established. Extra-embryonic membranes (amnion, allantois) emerge.

1/2anatomy delineated
histology · 2Histology — embryo physically embedded and microtomed into 1–7 µm sections, stained (Nissl / H&E), imaged, and reassembled into a 3D volume. High in-plane resolution, anisotropic voxels. imputed · 1Imputed — not measured. scRNA-seq cells placed into the eMouseAtlas anatomical mesh for this Theiler stage by canonical organ mapping. The cell-type-to-organ assignment is the imputed part; position within an organ is random, so organ-level structure is meaningful and sub-organ texture is not. MERFISH · 1MERFISH — combinatorial single-molecule FISH, ~100s of targeted genes at subcellular resolution.

Streak — gastrulation begins

Karl Theiler's staging system (1972) partitions prenatal development into 28 morphologically distinct steps. Virtual Embryo aligns all imagery, anatomy, and future spatial transcriptomics data to this axis.
