Q

What at is a continuously updated catalog of human genes and genetic disorders and traits, with a particular focus on the gene-phenotype relationship?

A

OMIM - Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man

17

24
Q

What is a public functional genomics database of array and sequence-based expression profiles?

25
Importance of GEO in Bittel's lab's hypothesis that Splicing is under-studied and may play large role along with gene expression in biliary atresia.
- Used GEO to re-analyzed data for scaRNA and splicing variation - Proved that scaRNA levels change as zebrafish develop - Proved that splicing isoforms exist - Consistnet with hypothesis BUT doesn't prove it - Opened door for funding for future projects
26
Most important point about Bittel's lab and GEO
Did not have to perform ANY experiments to prove findings and publish a paper
27
What is a method to identify classes of genes or proteins that are over-represented in a large set of genes or proteins and may have an association with disease phenotypes
Gene set enrichment (aka functional enrichment analysis)
