Abstract / Description of output
The Kidney Development Database is a bioinformatics resource dedicated to providing easily accessible information on gene expression during the development of the pro-, meso-, and metanephroi of a range of vertebrates. It also contains data on mutant phenotypes and on the effects of experimental manipulation of kidneys developing in culture. The database is searchable by gene name or by expression pattern. It is now being used as a test bed for more “advanced” search strategies that measure hypotheses of gene interactions against expression data to test for any clashes that would make the hypotheses untenable and that scan the database for potentially interesting correlations between changes in gene expression.
