FAIRsharing record for: Chickspress

This FAIRsharing record describes: Chickspress is a gene expression database for chicken tissues. Chickspress incorporates both NCBI and Ensembl gene models and links these gene sets with experimental gene expression data and QTL information. By linking gene models from both NCBI and Ensembl gene prediction pipelines, researchers can compare gene models from each of these prediction workflows to available experimental data. We use Chickspress data to show the differences between these gene annotation pipelines. Chickspress also provides rapid search, visualization and download capacity for chicken gene sets based upon tissue type, developmental stage and experiment type. Chickspress includes a core set of Red Jungle Fowl RNA and peptide data collected across multiple tissues from both male and female birds and public expression data sets.
