Co-Expression
Task:
CoExpressdb is a well curated database of pre-calculated co-expression profiles for model organisms. Expression values across a large number of published experiments on the same platform are compared via their coefficient of correlation. Highly correlated genes are either co-regulated, or one gene influences the expression level of the other.
- Navigate to CoExpressdb.
- Enter
Mbp1as a "gene alias" in the search field. - Click on the link to the coexpressed gene list. Do any of the "known" target genes appear here? How do you interpret this result?
Unfortunately, the support for yeast genes is very limited. CoexDB is however an excellent resource to study higher eukaryotic, especially human genes. You might want to consider it for its additional capabilities for your "systems" term project. Refer to the YouTube tutorials for details.

[ PubMed ] [ DOI ] The COXPRESdb (http://coxpresdb.jp) provides gene coexpression relationships for animal species. Here, we report the updates of the database, mainly focusing on the following two points. For the first point, we added RNAseq-based gene coexpression data for three species (human, mouse and fly), and largely increased the number of microarray experiments to nine species. The increase of the number of expression data with multiple platforms could enhance the reliability of coexpression data. For the second point, we refined the data assessment procedures, for each coexpressed gene list and for the total performance of a platform. The assessment of coexpressed gene list now uses more reasonable P-values derived from platform-specific null distribution. These developments greatly reduced pseudo-predictions for directly associated genes, thus expanding the reliability of coexpression data to design new experiments and to discuss experimental results. |
