Develops and enhances the Gene Expression Database (GXD), which captures, integrates and displays mouse developmental expression data generated world-wide.
Our main focus is the Gene Expression Database (GXD), which captures and integrates mouse expression data generated by biomedical researchers worldwide, with particular emphasis on mouse development. Gene expression data can provide researchers with critical insights into the function of genes and the molecular mechanisms of development, differentiation and disease. By combining different types of expression data and adding new data on a daily basis, GXD provides increasingly complete information about expression profiles of transcripts and proteins in wild-type and mutant mice. We work closely with the other Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) projects to provide the community with integrated access to genotypic, expression and phenotypic, and disease-related data. Thus, one can search for expression data and images in many different ways, using numerous biologically and biomedically relevant parameters.
