Data Sets
• Paul Gray - ~1000 mouse transcription factor
genes - whole embryo & sections. These are in the
database now.
• Other potential sources:
–
–
–
–
German AxelDB frog in situs
Japanese NIBB frog in situs (have nice browser)
Genepaint.org - mouse stuff
EMAGE and Jackson Lab mouse images
• From development and other journals, copyright issues.
– Nathaniel Heintz BAC expression constructs
– Eddy Rubin lab mouse embryos
– UCSF cell-localization stuff?
Types of images
• Whole animal vs.
sectioned tissues, vs.
single cell.
• Single vs. multiple
probes within same
image.
• Single image vs. image
series (movies even).
• RNA, Antibody, Fusion
protein.

Gene Pix Programs
• genePixLoad - loads SQL database from a well
defined format involving a .ra file and a tab
separated file. See genePixLoad.doc
• loadMahoney - converts Paul Gray (Mahoney
center) spreadsheet and image directory into
genePixLoad format
• Hg/lib/genePix.c - interface with SQL database.
• hgGenePix - cgi script to display images
• knownToGenePix - makes table in mm5 (or other)
genome database to connect known genes to
genePix Ids.
Gene Pix Database
• Just a single database for all assemblies of
all organisms.
• A knownToGenePix table in the assembly
database.
