Databases

A. Tissue-specific mammalian gene expression databases with manual curation of the mass scale expression data

      i. MGEx-Tdb: Mammalian Gene Expression database for Testis tissue.
      Publication: A novel tissue-specific meta-analysis approach for gene expression
      predictions, initiated with a mammalian gene expression testis database. BMC
      Genomics, 11, 467 (2010)

      ii. MGEx-Udb: Mammalian Gene Expression Database for Uterus tissue.
      (under review for publication, will be available after acceptance for publication)

      Other similar databases for liver, kidney and prostate tissues, yet to be validated:
       MGEx-Ldb, MGEx-Kdb, MGEx-Pdb.

B. piRNA database: "piRNABank" is a web analysis system and resource, which provides comprehensive informationon piRNAs in the widely studied mammals namely Human, Mouse, Rat,Zebrafish, Platypus and a fruit fly, Drosophila.
Publication: piRNABank: a web resource on classified and clustered Piwi-interacting RNAs. Nucleic Acids Research, 36(1), D173-D177 (2008)
