Almost 30 New Datasets Released

We’re kicking off 2017 with some more new datasets from FaceBase 2 projects as well as integration of gene summary information within datasets.

New Datasets

We are pleased to offer 27 new datasets from FaceBase2 projects providing new microCT images and genomic data:

• Transgenic Mouse Enhancer OPT Assays - ChIP-seq, RNA-seq and transgenic assays to identify non-coding regulatory elements (enhancers) active during craniofacial development from the Genomic and Transgenic Resources for Craniofacial Enhancer Studies project.

• Alk5 Control – Bone and Soft Tissue microCT images (from E16.5 to P0) from the Integrated research of functional genomics and craniofacial morphogenesis project

• Wild Type E18.5 Frontal Suture Images from the Transcriptome Atlases of the Craniofacial Sutures project.

New Gene Summary integration

Where available, we have integrated gene summary information with the Data Browser. You can see our currently available summaries here. On details pages for a dataset where there is a gene summary available, a “Gene Summary” field appears with a link to the information.

Updated website navigation

We have tweaked the website navigation so that the first item, “Data Browser”, now offers the same search links displayed on the homepage, as well as links to the Gene Summary records available and a list of the new and pending datasets that have been or will soon be released. Links that used to be under “Data” but that were not part of the Data Browser have been moved under “Resources”.

If you have any questions or issues, please email help@facebase.org.
