Scientists can now visualize developmental gene expression quantitatively in three dimensions and at single-cell resolution. Recent advances in optical microscopy and fluorescent genetic tags allow imaging of gene expression in live animals, as well. Eventually, researchers hope to construct virtual atlases of animal development.
