The Expressed Gene Anatomy Database (EGAD)
|

|
|
EGAD was constructed by extraction and curation of sequences from GenBank to create a non-redundant set of human transcript (HT) sequences and non-human transcript (ET) sequences. In some cases, HTs/ETs were created by splicing together distinct GenBank accessions for each exon in those transcripts, or by splicing exons from a genomic sequence. Each HT sequence is linked to a human gene (HG). An HG may have more than one HT due to alternative splicing. Alternative splice forms of a gene are linked in HG and HT reports. HG and HT/ET names have been curated for consistent nomenclature. Cellular roles have been assigned to each HT/ET. Tissue distribution information is available for most HTs/ETs. Extensive expression information, including positions of overlapping Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs), is available in HT/ET reports, for most HTs/ETs, with links to TIGR's Gene Indices. Clones for HTs/ETs may also be available through the TIGR/ATCC Special Collection. The curated HT/ET data set is available as a multiple FastA format file, please go to TIGR's data licensing page for more information. EGAD is accessed through the following queries:
EGAD has been implemented using the Sybase Database Management Software.
