IntAct [2] is a central, public repository where molecular interactions data can be stored and accessed. We are populating IntAct both with submitted data and with data from the scientific literature. The database makes extensive use of controlled vocabularies, which allow consistent description of the experimental detail that was used to generate the data. To support generalised queries, these...

The human genome sequence provided a complete molecular ‘parts list’ for researchers interested in improving human health. A key task now is to catalogue how the gene products interact with drugs and drug-like molecules. ChEMBL is a ‘chemogenomic’ database that brings together chemical, bioactivity and genomic data to aid the translation of genomic information into effective new drugs. The reso...

Gene Expression Beginner 0.5 hour This quick tour provides an overview of EMBL-EBI’s functional genomics database ArrayExpress. This course was updated in December 2015. An undergraduate-level understanding of biology is an advantage. You may wish to have a look at our Functional genomics: An introduction to EMBL-EBI resources [2] before taking this course. Want to know more about ArrayExpress?...

What is Expression Atlas? Expression Atlas [2] is an EMBL-EBI database and web-service that curates, re-analyses and displays gene expression [3] data across species and biological conditions such as different tissues, cell types, developmental stages and diseases. Expression Atlas aims to help answer questions such as 'where is my favourite gene expressed?' or 'how does its expression change i...

The Papers submission and presentations were organized in 6 separate tracks, corresponding to the technical areas covered by six APSIPA technical committees. Among them, the Speech, Language and Audio (SLA) track and the Image, Video and Multimedia (IVM) track attracted the largest numbers of submissions. For this conference, we also got the technical sponsorship from the IEEE Signal Processing...

What can I do with it? You can search using gene annotations to find out about the expression of your favourite gene(s) in normal, untreated conditions, and also in various experimental conditions. You can also search using sample attributes, to find out which genes are expressed in a particular tissue, e.g. human kidney, or which genes show interesting expression patterns under a certain exper...
