Gene expression enrichment tests are sensitive enough to detect where your background data came from #TopAnat

Posted on March 2, 2016 by

When you invent such a cool toy as TopAnat, you play with it. And then sometimes, you’re afraid that you might have broken it. But then, maybe it’s more robust than you expected. This is such a story. One lab … Continue reading →

The contribution of #RNAseq, #microarrays, in situ hybridization and ESTs to #TopAnat gene enrichment signal

Posted on February 26, 2016 by

In Bgee, we integrate gene expression data from RNA-seq, Affymetrix microarrays, ESTs and in situ hybridization data. It is natural to think that with RNA-seq being so powerful, we should not bother with other sources of information. Yet we still have … Continue reading →

10 million calls of differential gene expression for 11 species, from #RNAseq and #microarray

Posted on March 3, 2015 by

Continuing to roll out Bgee release 13 (see first installment), we now provide pre-computed files of differential gene expression. As for present / absent calls, files are organized per species, and come in “simple” and “complete” versions. A test of … Continue reading →

Expressed, or not expressed? That is the question!

Posted on December 19, 2012 by

Bgee provides information about where and when genes are expressed in different species. But what does it mean “to be expressed”? That’s a fundamental question we had to answer before we could introduce RNA-Seq data into the database. Expression does … Continue reading →
