The overall goal of this dissection and morphometric analysis is to illustrate the robustness of our morphometric methodology for studying structures with complex shapes like the mouse penis bone. We first had the idea for this study when we reali

Many biological structures lack easily definable landmarks, making it difficult to apply modern morphometric methods. Here we illustrate methods to study the mouse baculum (a bone in the penis), including dissection and microCT scanning, followed by computational methods to define semi-landmarks that are used to quantify size and shape variation.
