Fate Mapping

Fate mapping is a technique used to understand how embryonic cells divide, differentiate, and migrate during development. In classic fate mapping experiments, cells in different areas of an embryo are labeled with a chemical dye and then tracked to determine which tissues or structures they form. Technological improvements now allow for individual cells to be marked and traced throughout embryonic development and adulthood. This video reviews the concepts behind fate mapping, and then details a...

Source: Laboratories of Jonas T. Kaplan and Sarah I. Gimbel—University of Southern California One principle of brain organization is the topographic mapping of information. Especially in sensory and motor cortices, adjacent regions of the brain tend to represent information from adjacent parts of the body, resulting in maps of the body expressed on the surface of the brain. The primary sensory and motor maps in the brain surround a prominent sulcus known as the central sulcus. The cortex...

Source: Nicholas Timmons, Asantha Cooray, PhD, Department of Physics & Astronomy, School of Physical Sciences, University of California, Irvine, CA This experiment demonstrates how vectors add and subtract in multiple directions. The goal will be to analytically calculate the addition or subtraction of multiple vectors and then to experimentally confirm the calculations. A vector is an object with both magnitude and direction. The magnitude of a vector is simply denoted as the length,...

We describe the production strategy of integrase-deficient lentiviral vectors (IDLVs) as vehicles for delivering CRISPR/Cas9 to cells. With an ability to mediate quick and robust gene editing in cells, IDLVs present a safer and equally effective vector platform for gene delivery compared to integrase-competent vectors.

Vectors are mathematical entities characterized by both magnitude and direction. Unlike scalars, which are defined solely by magnitude, vectors represent quantities like displacement, velocity, and force, where direction is essential. Vectors are graphically represented as directed line segments, extending from an initial point to a terminal point, denoted with bold letters or arrows placed above the symbol. Two vectors are deemed equal if they share identical magnitudes and directions,...
FAQs
Geometry records where a feature is located, while attributes store descriptive information associated with it. Linking these elements lets software distinguish, for example, a healthcare facility from a patient location or a disease-vector habitat, then layer, edit, query, and analyze them together. This connection supports spatial questions that require both location and feature characteristics.
Points, lines, and polygons allow a map to represent healthcare-related locations and geographic features in forms suited to their spatial structure. That distinction helps software preserve precise geometry while displaying information at different sizes. In medical analysis, selecting the appropriate feature form supports clearer layering, editing, querying, and interpretation of relationships among mapped entities.
A map can be examined across changing geographic scales without being confined to a fixed pixel arrangement. This flexibility helps users inspect relationships among patients, facilities, environmental conditions, and disease-vector habitats at the geographic level relevant to a study. It also supports clearer visualization when the area or analytical focus changes.
Vector Maps can combine mapped locations with demographic and clinical datasets, as well as information about environmental conditions and disease-vector habitats. Bringing these sources together gives researchers a way to examine spatial relationships rather than viewing each dataset separately. The combined view can support risk visualization, intervention targeting, and evidence-informed decisions.
Researchers can map healthcare facilities alongside patient locations and relevant demographic or clinical information to examine their spatial relationships. This approach helps reveal how healthcare resources and populations are distributed across an area, supporting assessment of access and informing public-health planning. Analyses can be viewed at changing geographic scales as the planning need changes.
In epidemiology and outbreak surveillance, mapped patients, facilities, environmental conditions, and disease-vector habitats can be examined together to reveal spatial patterns. Those patterns help researchers and practitioners visualize where risk may be concentrated, relate health events to surrounding conditions, and target public-health interventions. The resulting analysis supports planning across changing geographic areas.
