Developments for Plant Data in Expression Atlas

Expression Atlas (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/gxa) provides information about gene and protein expression in animal and plant samples of e.g. cell types, organism parts, developmental stages, strains and disease. The number of plant studies and species in Atlas has doubled in the last year - to over 430 studies (and 14 plant species) to date. Atlas is now backed by extensive RNA-seq analysis of all public plant data - resulting in gene expression data from over 10,000 high-quality 'runs' (600 studies) in 44 species, that are now being steadily curated and loaded into Atlas. This talk will provide overview of the new data, highlight our current work on novel analyses of Atlas data (e.g. gene co-expression) and present our plans for the coming year.
