Development Layer Specific Gene Expression Atlas in Human

Question

[Shicheng Guo]

Hi All,

A naive question, Can we find layer specific (mesoderm , endoderm and ectoderm) gene expression for human? I mean for certain genes which are only expressed only in 1 of the 3 layers and silenced in other two layers.

If these genes exist? How many genes would belong to these layer specific gene expression?

By the way, Do you know how to assign the gem-layer for the following tissues:

ID  Tissue
0   bladder
1   blood
2   bone
3   bone_marrow
4   brain
5   cervix
6   colon
7   eye
8   heart
9   kidney
10  larynx
11  liver
12  lung
13  lymph
14  mammary
15  muscle
16  ovary
17  pancreas
18  peripheral_nervous_system
19  placenta
20  prostate
21  skin
22  small_intestine
23  soft_tissue
24  spleen
25  stomach
26  testis
27  thymus
28  tongue
29  uterus

Thanks.

Dear Scicheng,

Maybe the EBI-gene expression atlas (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gxa/home) can be useful. I prefer the old site (http://www-test.ebi.ac.uk/gxa/). You can specify conditions and so on.

Hope it helps,

Regards,
