- gene identifier
- body part or combinations of
body parts
- developmental stage-range
- cytological position
- GO function assignments
- protein domains
Each query term mentioned above has its own help page from the Advanced
Search page (click '?' along the term to get it).
The search results are arranged in such a way that each gene has one
row and their background color alternates to give visual clues of one
gene row since one gene row may contain sub rows (each stage has one
row).
The results of searches can be formatted (affected by Format value) to return combination of
- gene information
- gene
symbol/predicted gene (click for expression data report with images
and/or array profile)
-
representative EST
-
cytological position
- GO
function (where available)
- array profile (click to enlarge for
details)
- images (click to enlarge for
details)
- annotation - stage and body parts (click on body part to go to ImaGO report page)
Things to keep in mind when looking at the Advanced search results:
- The body parts that were subject of the search are in
bold and italics.
- The return of searches is ordered so that genes with expression data which match the search criteria best are on top of the list, whereas genes without expression profile are on the bottom.
- Array profile is available for vast majority of the genes.
- Genes with Note : Not worth revisiting have textual annotation only, no images captured (maternal, ubiquitous, no staining and combinations of those)
- Only images for a stage matching the search criteria are displayed, click on gene name for full report with ALL INAGES captured for that gene.
(3) Expression Pattern Report Pages contain:
- Gene information (cDNA, Gene,
Function, Domain)
- click
on EST link for 5' and 3' sequences from BDGP
- occasionally multiple ESTs represent the same gene and two distinct
sets of image and annotation data may be available to document the
expression pattern,
-
predicted gene or gene name link leads to gadfly annotation report
- FBgn
link leads to FlyBase gene report
- Array profile ( expression value are
calculated using dCHip analysis algorithm, absent/present calls are
imported from Affymetrix Microarray Suite analysis)
- Expression pattern
- images
are grouped by stage-ranges
- images
are clickable for enlarged version that opens in a new window
-
bodypart links lead to ImaGO Report page
-
Note column contains textual annotation (maternal, no
staining, ubiquitous) generally only when no images are available.
-
Comment column has free text comments of the annotator.
Summary page tabulates all gene expression data in the database. Link in
Gene column goes to gene expression report page.
Text Version of
Summary link on the summary page give you a plain text same
as the summary page but fields are tab-delimited.
- The permutations of paths to the root term in anatomy
ontologies in ImaGO report page are at present unavoidable, please
scroll down for the list of genes at the bottom of the page.
- Major utility of ImaGO is that it will list all genes
that we found expressed in a given embryonic structure and in all
structures that derive from it.
- P stands for part of, I stands for instance of, D
stands for develops from relationship between ontology terms
