MECP2pedia provides users with readily accessible expression profiles, QC report, genomic tacks, and differential expressionanalyses that can all be compared across any set of studies or meta characteristics. We hope that MECP2pedia will be a useful tool for researchers investigating the universal role of MECP2 function.
MECP2pedia is a uniformly processed and expansive collection of MECP2 transcriptome data, with readily accessible processed data (expression, quality, genomic tracks, differential expression) that can all be compared across any set of studies or meta characteristics. We hope MECP2pedia will fill the role of a focused database of molecular transcriptome data in order to supplement existing MECP2 based disease databases, which are either focused on patient registry (Rett syndrome and Related Disorders by Telethon Kids Institute, rettdatabasenetwork.org), or on mutation information (Rettsyndrome.org). The data is primarily from Mouse and comprises 20 studies worth of transcriptomic data. MECP2pedia’s portal is an efficient and intuitive way for researchers and clinicians to understand and investigate the universal role of MECP2 function; we hope to help guide and inform future work in understanding MECP2’s role.
