GPX Macrophage Atlas
The GPX Macrophage Atlas (GPX-MEA) is a web resource for expression based studies of a range of macrophage cell types following treatment with pathogens and immune modulators.
First of its kind
This is the first example of a focussed macrophage gene expression database which will allow the researcher to efficiently explore patterns of transcription and obtain novel insights into biology of this cell system.
Quality controlled
Experiments within GPX-MEA have been selected via an extensive literature and database survey using defined criteria.
Data sets within GPX-MEA have been manually curated and have undergone a multi-parameter quality assessment analysis.
Studies may be queried on the basis of experimental parameters, sample information and quality assessment score. The ability to compare the expression values of individual genes across multiple experiments is provided.
Significantly, the database offers access to MIAME-compliant experimental information and analysis files and includes experiments and raw data previously unavailable to the public
Access
This database can be accessed via its website.
