Human Prostate Gene DataBase

 Database Statistics 
 

PGDB (v.1.1);  Nov 30, 2002 

What's new in this update:

  • Included genes involved in the molecular event of apoptosis in the prostate.
  • Included more prostate-specific genes derived from SAGE and EST expression analysis. In Version 1.0, for gene or ESTs to be included the the database, they must express exclusively in the prostate and have at least 5 member EST or SAGE tags derived from prostate libraries. In this update, this number was lowered to 2. 
  • More annotations were added to each gene such as Reference Sequence from GenBank, links to Ensembl and UCSC genome map
