Recent developments in StemBase: a tool to study gene expression in human and murine stem cells. [PMID: 19284540]
BACKGROUND: Currently one of the largest online repositories for human and mouse stem cell gene expression data, StemBase was first designed as a simple web-interface to DNA microarray data generated by the Canadian Stem Cell Network to facilitate the discovery of gene functions relevant to stem cell control and differentiation. |
StemBase: a resource for the analysis of stem cell gene expression data. [PMID: 18453254]
StemBase is a database of gene expression data obtained from stem cells and derivatives mainly from mouse and human using DNA microarrays and Serial Analysis of Gene Expression. Here, we describe this database and indicate ways to use it for the study the expression of particular genes in stem cells or to search for genes with particular expression profiles in stem cells, which could be associated to stem cell function or used as stem cell markers. |
