The Medaka Expression Pattern Database (MEPD) provides integrated gene expression data for Medaka fish embryos. This resource aids research into embryonic development using searchable images, descriptions, and sequence data.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Biology
  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Understanding gene function during embryonic development is crucial.
  • Medaka (Oryzias latipes) is a valuable model organism for developmental studies.
  • A centralized database for Medaka gene expression patterns is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the Medaka Expression Pattern Database (MEPD).
  • To integrate and store gene expression information during Medaka embryonic development.
  • To provide searchable access to expression data and related sequences.

Main Methods:

  • Collecting and documenting gene expression patterns from ESTs (Expressed Sequence Tags).
  • Utilizing images and structured descriptions (staining intensity, category, comments).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Employing a hierarchical anatomical dictionary for standardized annotation.
  • Clustering ESTs, blasting against public databases, and regularly updating BLAST results.
  • Integrating MEPD with the Medaka Genome Initiative (MGI) genomic map databases.

    • Main Results:

    • MEPD stores comprehensive gene expression data for Medaka embryos.
    • Expression patterns are documented with images and detailed descriptive parameters.
    • EST sequences are available and searchable via BLAST.
    • BLAST results against public databases are regularly updated and integrated.
    • The database is interconnected with other MGI resources.

    Conclusions:

    • MEPD serves as a valuable, integrated resource for Medaka developmental biology research.
    • The database facilitates the study of gene function through expression pattern analysis.
    • MEPD enhances genomic research by linking expression data with genomic maps.
