First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

Anatomical information is crucial to human biomedical research but not all research is based on human tissues. However, exploiting discoveries in model organisms such as the mouse at a systems level, involving metabolic and developmental networks in tissues, requires the identification of the links between human and model organism anatomies. The question is: can we exploit similarities between mouse and human to automatically associate data between them?
