Generic rat uterus scaffold

In this workspace we have the mapping tool provenance data file needed to produce the generic rat uterus scaffold for the 12 Labours project. The mapping tool will be accessible from the release download page on the SPARC Portal.

The rat uterus scaffold is generated with a configurable network layout. A user can annotate the uterine horns, fundus, body, uterine cervix and vagina along the network layout and use that to define the respective regions of the uterus. The ability to control dimensions such as length and diameter of uterine horns, the length, width and depth of the uterus, cervix and vagina, as well as wall thickness in the different regions allows the scaffold to be configurable for different network layout and sizes to support different species and individuals.

The rat uterus scaffold is created based on average dimensions and images obtained from literature.

The rat uterus scaffold defines the geometric coordinates. The geometric coordinates field gives an approximate, idealized representation of the shape for the species, which is intended to be fitted to actual data for a specimen.
