GeneSigDB -- Gene Signature Database
What you can do:
Find information about genes whose transcriptional levels are uniquely associated with a specific biological phenotype.
Highlights:
- GeneSigDB is a manually curated database of gene expression signatures.
- It currently focuses on cancer and stem cells gene signatures and was constructed from more than 850 publications from which 575 gene signatures were manually transcribed.
- Most gene signatures (n = 560) were successfully mapped to the genome to extract standardized lists of EnsEMBL gene identifiers.
- GeneSigDB provides the original gene signature, the standardized gene list and a fully traceable gene mapping history for each gene from the original transcribed data table through to the standardized list of genes.
- The GeneSigDB web portal allows users to compare their own gene list to those in the database, and download gene signatures in most common gene identifier formats.
Keywords:
