Database of gene expression in whole-mount mouse embryos derived from in situ hybridization on mid-gestation mouse embryos. A genome wide screening for genes showing a tissue restricted expression pattern in mid-gestation embryos is performed to identify genes that are likely to play an important role in the regulatory networks controlling pattern formation and organogenesis. The screening provides the basis for imaging the molecular anatomy of the mouse embryo, and for creating a gene resource for a directed functional analysis of developmental processes. The experimental protocol is available. Pattern genes in MAMEP: 1912 Images in MAMEP: 23994

For each developmental stage (using the staging system defined by Theiler), the Mouse Anatomical Dictionary organizes the terms hierarchically from body region or system to tissue to tissue substructure. Modeling the anatomy hierarchically makes it possible to record expression results from assays with differing spatial resolution in a consistent and integrated manner. The Mouse Anatomical Dictionary Browser lets you navigate the extensive dictionary hierarchies for the different developmental stages, locate specific anatomical structures within those hierarchies, and see the expression results associated with those structures. Stages 1 through 26 (embryonic development) are being developed at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Edinburgh, Scotland and the MRC Human Genetics Unit, Edinburgh, as part of The Mouse Atlas and 3D Graphical Gene Expression Database Project. Stage 28 (postnatal mouse) is being developed by the Gene Expression Database Project at The Jackson Laboratory.

http://www.mouseatlas.org/

A portal to the Mouse Atlas of Gene Expression Project and Dissecting Gene Expression Networks in Mammalian Organogenesis Project. This Atlas will define the normal state for many tissues by determining, in a comprehensive and quantitative fashion, the number and identity of genes expressed throughout development. The resource will be comprehensive, quantitative, and publicly accessible, containing data on essentially all genes expressed throughout select stages of mouse development. Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) is the gene expression methodology of choice for this work. Unlike expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and gene chip data, SAGE data are independent of prior gene discovery and are quantitative. Furthermore, SAGE data are digital, easily exchanged between laboratories for comparison and can be added to by scientists for years to come. Thus, this Atlas will include a data structure and data curation strategy that will facilitate the ongoing collection of gene expression data, even after the completion of this project. The Mouse Atlas project compromises 202 SAGE Libraries from 198 tissues. The list of libraries is available in a number of different groupings, including groups of libraries taken from specific tissue locations and libraries taken from specific developmental stages. Furthermore, this atlas will assemble gene expression profiles for a few focused experiments that will test hypotheses related to the techniques employed, tumor models and models of abnormal development. This will test the resource and provide quality control, validation and demonstrate applicability. Additionally, The Mammalian Organogenesis - Regulation by Gene Expression Networks (MORGEN) project will provide a complete, permanent, and accurate picture of mouse gene expression in the heart (atrioventricular canal and outflow tract), pancreas, and liver; new techniques to understand the interplay of proteins governing the expression of genes key to the development of these organ systems; and the identification of the master regulatory switches that control development of the tissues.

http://edwardslab.bmcb.georgetown.edu/

The Edwards lab conducts research in various aspects of computational biology and bioinformatics, particularly proteomics and mass spectrometry informatics and DNA and protein based signatures for pathogen detection. Some tools provided by Edwards Lab are the PepArML Meta-Search Engine, PeptideMapper Web-Service, Peptide Sequence Databases, Rapid Microorganism Identification Database (RMIDb), and GlycoPeptideSearch. Our primary area of research is the analysis of mass spectrometry experiments for proteomics. Proteomics, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the expressed proteins of a cell, makes it possible to detect and compare the protein abundance profiles of different samples. Proteins observed to be under or over expressed in disease samples can lead to diagnostic markers or drug targets. The observation of mutated or alternatively spliced protein isoforms may provide domain experts with clues to the mechanisms by which a disease operates. The detection of proteins by mass spectrometry can even signal the presence of airborne microorganisms, such as anthrax, in the detect-to-protect time-frame. Recent research has focused on the discovery of novel peptides in proteomics datasets, improving the sensitivity and specificity of peptide identification using spectral matching with hidden Markov models, and unsupervised machine-learning based peptide identification result combining. Outside of proteomics, we work on computational tools for the design of highly specific oligonucleotides useful for pathogen signatures and PCR assay design. Recent research has focused on precomputing all human oligos of length 20 that are unique up to 4 string edits; and all bacterial 20-mer oligos that are species specific up to 4 string edits.

http://akt.ucsf.edu/EGAN/

Exploratory Gene Association Networks (EGAN) is a software tool that allows a bench biologist to visualize and interpret the results of high-throughput exploratory assays in an interactive hypergraph of genes, relationships (protein-protein interactions, literature co-occurrence, etc.) and meta-data (annotation, signaling pathways, etc.). EGAN provides comprehensive, automated calculation of meta-data coincidence (over-representation, enrichment) for user- and assay-defined gene lists, and provides direct links to web resources and literature (NCBI Entrez Gene, PubMed, KEGG, Gene Ontology, iHOP, Google, etc.). EGAN functions as a module for exploratory investigation of analysis results from multiple high-throughput assay technologies, including but not limited to: * Transcriptomics via expression microarrays or RNA-Seq * Genomics via SNP GWAS or array CGH * Proteomics via MS/MS peptide identifications * Epigenomics via DNA methylation, ChIP-on-Chip or ChIP-Seq * In-silico analysis of sequences or literature EGAN has been built using Cytoscape libraries for graph visualization and layout, and is comparable to DAVID, GSEA, Ingenuity IPA and Ariadne Pathway Studio. There are pre-collated EGAN networks available for human (Homo sapiens), mouse (Mus musculus), rat (Rattus norvegicus), chicken (Gallus gallus), zebrafish (Danio rerio), fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans), mouse-ear cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), rice (Oryza sativa) and brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). There is now an EGAN module available for GenePattern (human-only). Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible
