anopheles gambiae gene expression profile @uci

NOTE TO VISITORS WHO USED THE DATABASE PRIOR TO April 28, 2006: The Anopheles gambiae Gene Expression Database at UC Irvine has been updated to match the latest An. gambiae annotation (ENSEMBL Assembly: AgamP3, Feb 2006; Genebuild: VectorBase, Feb 2006; Database version: 37.3). The previous version of the database can still be accessed from: http://www.angagepv1.bio.uci.edu.

Welcome to the Anopheles gambiae Gene Expression Database at UC Irvine. Presented here is a relational database that combines data from microarray experiments, functional annotation, and the An. gambiae genome project to provide insight into gene expression and regulation in this mosquito vector of human malaria.

Microarray analyses included in this site were based on the Affymetrix GeneChip Plasmodium/Anopheles Genome Array. Abundance of specific mRNAs represented in the array were determined for larvae (3rd and 4th instars), adult males (3 days post emergence), non-blood fed females (3 days post emergence) and females at 3, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours following a blood meal, and females aged 18 days with or without a bloodmeal. Functional annotation integrated into the site for keyword searching combines keywords indexed in the ENSEMBL Mosquito Genome database, NCBI non-redundant databases and conserved motifs databases (GO, PFAM, SMART). Sequence data was captured from the ENSEMBL Mosquito Genome database.

SITE DESCRIPTION
View database Displays all An. gambiae transcripts contained in the Affymetrix GeneChip. Each link invokes a gene entry page displaying a corresponding transcript's developmental expression profile and functional annotation.
Filter database Data-mining interface for use in selecting gene sets that meet tissue- and stage-specific expression criteria, keywords contained within gene functional annotation, and sequences of interest within promoter, 3' untranslated, or coding regions. Once a gene set is selected, users can invoke promoter analysis to search for conserved DNA sequence motifs that occur within the promoter regions of the genes in the gene set.
Import gene set Pre-defined gene sets can be imported into the data-mining interface, or alternatively, gene lists can be entered for importation. In addition, users can submit their own gene sets for immediate listing as a pre-defined gene set.
Documentation User manual providing detailed examples of how the site may be used in a question and answer format.
