EPConDB -- Endocrine pancreas consortium database
What you can do:
Search for information on genes expressed in pancreas.
Highlights:
- The Endocrine Pancreas Consortium database (EPConDB)contains information of genes expressed in the developing endocrine pancreas.
- It has constructed mouse and human cDNA libraries from adult and various stages of embryonic development of endocrine pancreas.
- It allows users to find gene expressed in the pancreas using BLAST.
- 2007 update:
- EPConDB displays expression profiles for individual genes involved in diabetes, pancreatic development and beta-cell function, and information about transcripts, promoter elements and transcription factor binding sites.
- Other datasets include semi-quantitative RT-PCR and MPSS expression studies.
- EPConDB provides database queries and tools to examine the relationship between a gene, its transcriptional regulation, protein function and expression in pancreatic tissues.
