Searching For SNPs By Tissue and Histology

Searching by tissue

• When a tissue is selected from the pulldown menu, SNPs in genes represented in EST libraries made from the tissue of interest are displayed.
  
  
• Queries are nonexclusive - a gene expressed in brain, heart and liver will be shown when "brain" is selected from the pulldown menu. To search for genes expressed only in a single tissue, please use tools available on the CGAP website.
  
  
• Queries are hierarchical - loci represented in cerebellum, cerebrum or whole brain libraries are diplayed when "brain" is chosen in the pulldown menu.

Searching by histology

• When a histology is selected from the pulldown menu, SNPs in genes represented in EST libraries made from tissues with the histology of interest are displayed.
  
  
  • cancer +/- normal : expressed in cancerous tissue and perhaps in normal tissue as well
    
    
  • normal +/- cancer : expressed in normal tissue and perhaps in cancerous tissue as well
    
    
  • cancer, not normal : expressed only in cancerous tissue
    
    
  • normal, not cancer : expressed only in normal tissue
