| Full name: | Tissue-Specific Genes Database |
| Description: | The Tissue-Specific Genes Database (TISGED) is a free database that provides comprehensive information of tissue-specific genes derived from biomedical literatures and data mining of more than 123,125 gene expression profiles over 107 human tissues, 67 mouse tissues and 30 rat tissues. A statistical parameter, SPM, is introduced to quantitatively measure the relative specificity of a gene over tissues. |

TiSGeD: a database for tissue-specific genes. [PMID: 20223836]
The tissue-specific genes are a group of genes whose function and expression are preferred in one or several tissues/cell types. Identification of these genes helps better understanding of tissue-gene relationship, etiology and discovery of novel tissue-specific drug targets. In this study, a statistical method is introduced to detect tissue-specific genes from more than 123 125 gene expression profiles over 107 human tissues, 67 mouse tissues and 30 rat tissues. As a result, a novel subject-specialized repository, namely the tissue-specific genes database (TiSGeD), is developed to represent the analyzed results. Auxiliary information of tissue-specific genes was also collected from biomedical literatures. http://bioinf.xmu.edu.cn/databases/TiSGeD/index.html. |
