The Mouse Gene Expression Database (GXD)

The Gene Expression Database (GXD) is a community resource of gene expressi on information for the laboratory mouse. By combining the different types o f expression data, GXD aims to provide increasingly complete information ab out the expression profiles of genes in different mouse strains and mutants , thus enabling valuable insights into the molecular networks that underlie normal development and disease. GXD is integrated with the Mouse Genome Da tabase (MGD). Extensive interconnections with sequence databases and with d atabases from other species, and the development and use of shared controll ed vocabularies extend GXD's utility for the analysis of gene expression in formation. GXD is accessible through the Mouse Genome Informatics web site at http://www.informatics.jax.org/ or directly at http://www.informatics.ja x.org/menus/ expression-menu.shtml.
