Database Description
Gene Aging Nexus (GAN, http://gan.usc.edu) is a data mining platform for the biogerontological-geriatric research community. It enables users to analyze, query, and visualize the aging-related genomic data. Our goal is to facilitate the digestion and usage of the public genomic data. A current focus is on integrative analysis of microarray gene expression data. We are establishing a central database for aging microarray data of six species: human (H. sapiens), rat (R. norvegicus), mouse (M. musculus), fruit fly (D. melanogaster), worm (C. elegans), and yeast (S. cerevisiae). GAN is equipped with a set of bioinformatics tools for analysis of the microarray data sets, cross-platform and cross-species.
