The Human Developmental Cell Atlas (HuDeCA) images have been very kindly provided by
Ms. Marine Herbane, Dr. Stéphane Zaffran and Dr. Heather Etchevers, Marseille Medical Genetics, INSERM U1251, France.
The decimals correspond to estimated days in addition to the number of post conception weeks as follows:
+2 day = 0.3, +3 day = 0.4, +4 day = 0.6, +5 day = 0.7.
The HDBR images have been annotated in consultation with Professor Deborah J. Henderson Professor of Cardiac Development.
