   Resource Category : Databases -> Human and Other Vertebrate Genomes -> Model Organisms, Comparative Genomics
   
   Brief Description : BodyMap-Xs (http://bodymap.jp) is a database for cross-species gene expression comparison; it was created by the anatomical breakdown of 17 million animal EST records in DDBJ by using a sorting program tailored for this purpose. In BodyMap-Xs, users are allowed to compare the expression patterns of orthologous and paralogous genes in a coherent manner; this will provide valuable insights for the evolutionary study of gene expression and identification of a responsive motif for a particular expression pattern. In addition, starting from a concise overview of the taxonomical and anatomical breakdown of all animal ESTs, users can navigate to obtain gene expression ranking of a particular tissue in a particular animal; this method may lead to the understanding of the similarities and differences between the homologous tissues across animal species. BodyMap-Xs will be automatically updated in synchronization with the major update in DDBJ, which occurs periodically.
