How does a fertilized egg develop into a complex embryo? To address this question, large-scale high-resolution atlases of development have recently been generated. While these efforts have met with much excitement, they have also raised the concern of "stamp collection". I will present our recent progress in generating global views of embryogenesis and discuss how the exploration of atlases and gene regulatory networks can help provide conceptual advances.
