The British Universities Human Embryo Database has been
created by merging information from the Walmsley Collection of Human
Embryos at the School of Biological and Medical Sciences, University
of St Andrews and from the Boyd Collection of Human Embryos at the
Department of Anatomy, University of Cambridge. The database has been
made available electronically on the Internet and World Wide Web
browsers can be used to implement interactive access to the
information stored in the British Universities Human Embryo Database.
The database can, therefore, be accessed and searched from remote
sites and specific embryos can be identified in terms of their
location, age, developmental stage, plane of section, staining
technique, and other parameters. It is intended to add information
from other similar collections in the UK as it becomes
available.
