[Xenopus] a database of gene expression profiles

[Mike Gilchrist]

Dear Xenopus PIs,

This is just to let you know that we have made publicly available our 
database of gene expression profiles in Xenopus tropicalis, as 
described in the recent paper in Development (reference below).
You can find the web page at:
http://genomics.nimr.mrc.ac.uk/apps/profiles/

The database covers time points from fertilisation through to late 
gastrulation.
You can search by single or multiple gene symbol or partial text 
match, and it will display profiles for multiple genes at the same 
time. You can also search by gene sequence, as in some of our other 
applications.
And you can search by (notional) activation times.

The most informative searches will probably be from the Series 1 and 
2 joined data, but if you want to see a comparison between 
polyadenylated (crosses) and total mRNA (squares) then select Series 
3, and click through from the first chart to the single gene page data.

If you have suggestions as to how we might improve the interface then 
please feel free to let me know, although we may not be able to 
implement everything you think of. We are working with Xenbase to 
export our data and display these expression profiles in the relevant 
gene pages - this may take a little while to implement, so please be patient.

Best wishes,
mike
