These authors provide a brief description of an important database resource for mouse studies. This database permits users to search for images and tables of gene expression that are extracted from publications.

Multiplex three-dimensional brain gene expression mapping in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease. Genome Res. 12:2002;868-884. Here, Brown et al. apply the brain voxel strategy to a study of a Parkinson's disease model of the mouse. The mouse model was explored by dividing the brain into cubes and determining gene expression in each of these cubes, using microarrays. Statistical analyses were used to validate this approach. Genes involved in cell-cell interactions emerged as characteristically expressed in Parkinson's model brains.

Large-scale screen for genes controlling mammalian embryogenesis, using high-throughput gene expression analysis in mouse embryos. Mech Dev. 98:2000;77-94. These authors demonstrate that gene expression analysis with whole-mount specimens can readily be done on a large scale. They show that such studies provide a basis for systematic studies of a wide spectrum of biological processes, such as organogenesis, and assist in the identification of candidate genes for human diseases.
