FAQ
Currently, we collect the datasets from NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus, which is an international public repository that archives and freely distributes microarray, next-generation sequencing, and other forms of high-throughput functional genomics data submitted by the research community. For terms of use, please see NCBI GEO Disclaimer for detail.
On RGED home page, search panel is updated with the latest release version number. In the About->News Section, we will regularly annouce new updates of the database.
RGED is now searchable only by using Official Gene Symbols, which are unique symbols and names for human loci, including protein coding genes, RNA genes and pseudogenes, for allowing unambiguous scientific communication.So, please note, synonymous terms other rather official gene symbol will most likely fail to retrive positive hits from the database!
Using the Hierarchical Clustering algorithm, the gene of your interest can be searched against other gene sets, eg. Core Pathway Members. In this way, you can find out how similar it expressed with other gene candidates. Therefore, novel correlationship can be established among these genes.
All expression data in RGED is currently enterer and curated by our team. If you would like to submit data for one of your publications, please contact the database coordinator. We would like to help.
If you have used any results from RGED, plesse cite our recent published paper on DATABASE journal.
