Description
Summary:The gene expression database (GXD) is being developed to store and integrate expression information for mouse development. GXD addresses many issues that apply to gene expression databases in general, and its data structures and supporting software tools are generalized in design and thus readily adaptable to other life stages and species. Integration of GXD with the mouse genome database (MGD) and interconnections with other relevant databases will place the gene expression data into the larger biological and analytical context. Here, we describe the design and implementation of GXD and illustrate, in particular, the gene expression annotator, an electronic system for submitting expression data to the database.
