The first three columns display the individual mouse ontologies, the number of terms in each ontology, and the number of external references of each. The last three columns display the individual human ontologies, the number of terms, and the number of external references of each. The external references refer to the EMAP and MA ontologies for mouse, and to HUMAT for human. The alignment of the rows between the mouse and human ontologies represents the alignment of the Theiler and Carnegie stages of development based on morphological similarities. For example, the Theiler Stage 4 ontology contains 12 terms and has 9 mappings to the EMAP ontology. Mouse Theiler Stage 4 is equivalent to human Carnegie Stage 3. The Carnegie Stage 3 ontology contains 13 terms and has 11 mappings to terms from the HUMAT ontology.
