Database

SBM DB

Systems Biology and Medicine Database

SBM DB is comprehensive database of Gene Expression Profiles, which enable to compare the transcriptome of various tissues, organs and experiments. mRNA expression levels of thousands of genes are measured with oligo-nucleotide DNA microarray "GeneChip". All gene expression data in this database is produced by LSBM (Laboratory for Systems Biology and Medicine) and the collaborators.
We provide 3 types of Databases.

Reference database for gene Expression Analysis HUVEC Database for Vascular Endothelial research Protein Expression Database using Immunohistochemistory
RefExA

Comprehensive gene expression database of Human normal tissues, normal cultured cells and cancer cell lines with GeneChip HG-U133A, can help investigation of Human disease.

 HUVEC DB

Database for HUVEC (Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells) gene expression with stimuli by TNF&alpha etc..

 IHC DB

Database for Nuclear receptor protein expression and localization in each normal organ (rat tissues) using antibody and immunohistochemical staining.

The Objective

SBM-DB aims to investigate mainly Human disease and other mammalian's. Analysis from comprehensive gene expression profiles may help to define out the causes of disease in molecular level.

Experimental Procedure

Experimental procedures for GeneChip were performed according to the Affymetrix GeneChip Expression Analysis Technical Manual. Briefly, each 10 mg RNA are used to synthesize biotin-labeled cRNA, which was then hybridized to the high-density oligonucleotide array (GeneChip Human U133 array; Affymetrix, Santa Crara, CA). After washing, arrays were stained with streptavidin-phycoerythrin and analyzed by a Hewlett-Packard Scanner to collect image data.

Data Analysis

GeneChip Analysis Suite software version 5.0 was used to calculate the Signal value, and Detection Call (called "Average Difference", "Absolute Call" in previous MAS4.0).

Probe Information

Each Probeset have a GenBank Accession number, and we mapped with UniGene ClusterID. (Human Unigene Build #148, 1 April, 2002)
