1. Purpose and necessity
Purpose: Development of bioinformatics system applying transcription information for disease gene analysis
Necessity: Tools for pathogenesis mechanism based on gene expression pattern are limited. Because of continuous accumulation of disease gene expression data, many studies about disease gene discovery are proceeded actively by meta-analysis of disease gene expression data. Although sequencing based transcript data has increased, there is not enough tools for easy analysis of gene expression from RNA-Seq data. Subsequently, it is necessary to develop a tool for searching existing results from documents to validate the result of data analysis. Moreover, it is to develop genotype and gene expression integration database.
