Background:

Understanding gene activation, pattern formation, and morphogenesis requires advanced visualization tools.
Current methods for visualizing embryonic gene expression have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel computer-based method for 3D visualization of embryonic gene expression and morphology.
To provide a tool that offers more comprehensive data than existing visualization techniques.

Main Methods:

Development of a computer-based method for 3D reconstruction from serial sections.
Automatic alignment of serial sections to create 3D models.
Visualization of both gene expression patterns and morphological structures.

Main Results:

The 3D reconstructions provide richer information than single-section or whole-mount visualizations.
Successfully visualized embryonic gene expression and morphological structures in 3D.
The method facilitates detailed analysis of developmental processes.

Conclusions:

The novel 3D visualization method enhances the understanding of gene activation, pattern formation, and morphogenesis.
These 3D models can serve as a foundation for a future developmental database.
The developed tool offers significant advantages for developmental biology research.
