The GenitoUrinary Development Molecular Anatomy Project (GUDMAP) provides data and tools
that facilitate research on the GenitoUrinary (GU) tract for the scientific and medical community.

Who We Are

The GenitoUrinary Development Molecular Anatomy Project (GUDMAP) is a consortium of laboratories working to provide the scientific and medical community with curated data and tools to facilitate research on the GenitoUrinary (GU) tract. Since its inception, GUDMAP has focused on the urogenital, kidney and urinary tract (ureter, bladder and urethra) regions of human, mouse and other model organisms. The key components are:

a molecular atlas of gene expression for the developing and mature organs of the human and mouse GU tract;
a high resolution molecular anatomy that highlights development of the GU system;
tutorials describing GU organogenesis and innervation; and
access to consortium generated data, unpublished and published, via the ATLAS-D2K data repository.

The goal of the latest phase of GUDMAP (GUDMAP 4) is to establish a comprehensive understanding of kidney and lower urinary tract development and maturation to inform the study of tissue maturation and aging, organ dysgenesis and disease, and ultimately organ repair and regeneration.

The GUDMAP tools, tutorials and database are a public resource funded by the National Institutes of Health, USA.
