A table that "shows the hierarchical controlled vocabulary of anatomy terms used in Computational Biology and Informatics Laboratory databases. The controlled vocabulary is based on a table of anatomy terms taken from the mouse Gene Expression Database at the Jackson Laboratory (specifically GXD mouse stage 28 - adult.) However, it has been extended to incorporate human anatomy and also revised in a number of areas, particularly the haematolymphoid system, based on the 37th edition of Gray's Anatomy, and the brain, thanks to the contributions of Dr. Jonathan Nissanov of Drexel University. Further value has been added to the vocabulary by mapping each anatomy term onto the relevant set of EST libraries in dbEST." This table can be viewed at http://www.cbil.upenn.edu/anatomy.php3
