Software for isoform-specific gene expression quantification in RNA-Seq by modeling non-uniform read distribution. Instead of making parametric assumptions, they give adequate weight to the underlying data by the use of a non-parametric approach. The rationale is that regardless what factors lead to non-uniformity, whether it is due to hexamer priming bias, local sequence bias, positional bias, RNA degradation, mapping bias or other unknown reasons, the probability that a fragment is sampled from a particular region will be reflected in the aligned data. This empirical approach thus maximally reflects the true underlying non-uniform read distribution.

CleanEx is a database which provides access to public gene expression data via unique approved gene symbols and which represents heterogeneous expression data produced by different technologies in a way that facilitates joint analysis and cross-dataset comparisons. To achieve this goal, each single gene expression experiment is regularly mapped on a permanent target identifier consisting of a physical description of the targeted RNA. There is one entry per gene. To have a complete view of the transcript and its product, we also link each entry to the corresponding protein. We further provide the genomic position of the transcription start site from EPD, when available. Otherwise we give the annotated start site position in Ensembl.

Cross-species microarray expression database focusing on high-throughput expression data relevant for germline development, meiosis and gametogenesis as well as the mitotic cell cycle. The database contains a unique combination of information: 1) High-throughput expression data obtained with whole-genome high-density oligonucleotide microarrays (GeneChips). 2) Sample annotation (mouse over the sample name and click on it) using the Multiomics Information Management and Annotation System (MIMAS 3.0). 3) In vivo protein-DNA binding data and protein-protein interaction data (available for selected species). 4) Genome annotation information from Ensembl version 50. 5) Orthologs are identified using data from Ensembl and OMA and linked to each other via a section in the report pages. The portal provides access to the Saccharomyces Genomics Viewer (SGV) which facilitates online interpretation of complex data from experiments with high-density oligonucleotide tiling microarrays that cover the entire yeast genome. The database displays only expression data obtained with high-density oligonucleotide microarrays (GeneChips)., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 15,2026.

Database for genomes that have been completely sequenced, have active research community to contribute gene-specific information, or that are scheduled for intense sequence analysis. Includes nomenclature, map location, gene products and their attributes, markers, phenotypes, and links to citations, sequences, variation details, maps, expression, homologs, protein domains and external databases. All entries follow NCBI's format for data collections. Content of Entrez Gene represents result of curation and automated integration of data from NCBI's Reference Sequence project (RefSeq), from collaborating model organism databases, and from many other databases available from NCBI. Records are assigned unique, stable and tracked integers as identifiers. Content is updated as new information becomes available.

Database of biological data related to a single initiative, originating from a single organization or from a consortium. A BioProject record provides users a single place to find links to the diverse data types generated for that project. It is a searchable collection of complete and incomplete (in-progress) large-scale sequencing, assembly, annotation, and mapping projects for cellular organisms. Submissions are supported by a web-based Submission Portal. The database facilitates organization and classification of project data submitted to NCBI, EBI and DDBJ databases that captures descriptive information about research projects that result in high volume submissions to archival databases, ties together related data across multiple archives and serves as a central portal by which to inform users of data availability. BioProject records link to corresponding data stored in archival repositories. The BioProject resource is a redesigned, expanded, replacement of the NCBI Genome Project resource. The redesign adds tracking of several data elements including more precise information about a project''''s scope, material, and objectives. Genome Project identifiers are retained in the BioProject as the ID value for a record, and an Accession number has been added. Database content is exchanged with other members of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC). BioProject is accessible via FTP.

http://pga.mgh.harvard.edu/primerbank/
Database of human and mouse primer pairs for gene expression analysis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and quantitative PCR (qPCR). A total of 306,800 primers covering most known human and mouse genes can be accessed from the PrimerBank database, together with information on these primers such as T(m), location on the transcript and amplicon size. For each gene, at least one primer pair has been designed and in many cases alternative primer pairs exist. Primers have been designed to work under the same PCR conditions, thus facilitating high-throughput QPCR. All primers in PrimerBank were carefully designed to ensure gene specificity. All experimental validation data for mouse primers are available from PrimerBank. You can submit your primers. They will be added to the database once they are properly QCd.
