Genesapiens Team
The project originally started as a way to study a single gene's co-expression, by gathering a
number of experiments and studying the expression patterns of a handful of genes. The more samples
were gathered, the more it became obvious that the whole was bigger than the sum of its parts. At
this point a team was assembled to further develop the database. The team is composed of molecular
biologists, computer scientist and medical doctors. Combining the expertise from these various
fields we were able to produce a resource that is very accurately annotated, easy to use with
various useful data mining and disply options available all the while containing a large amount of
data. The database is continually updated with new features based on the users' requests and also new
data,
which is re-annotated to match the existing high standard. After the data and functions to
mine and display it was made made available internally, and to certain collaborators, tens of
thousands of plots have been made.
The people are physically located at Biomedicum Helsinki and the Molecular Biotechnology Unit of
VTT and the Univerisity of Turku, all under the supervision and part of the research group of
Professor Olli Kallioniemi.
