A graphical WWW-database on gene expression in tooth.
We have constructed a WWW-site that presents gene expression in developing dental tissues (Gene expression in tooth, http://honeybee.helsinki.fi/toothexp). Our aim is to provide a tool for learning and for research, in particular to facilitate comparisons of the expression patterns of different genes and detection of their coexpression as a starting point for experimental studies. For this reason, we have included schematic illustrations of the gene expression in different stages of development when adequate information has been available. The site also contains a comprehensive list of references. Additionally phenotypic consequences of defective gene expression are indicated. The pages also provide links to other biological databases on the Internet, both as context-dependent and as general links. We welcome submissions from researches elsewhere to include their information of gene expression and function.
