Welcome to 4DXpress! 21.06.2007



This is the first day that we are officially online with the database. Although we tested everything thoroughly, we are expecting bug reports and will do our best to fix them.
Our overall objective with 4DXpress is to design a database that will provide a convenient tool for managing cross species gene expression data.

4DXpress v1.0.0 has integrated data from:
EnsEMBL v44
BDGP v2, Mar 2007
ZFIN data report, 2007-01-10
MEPD Mai 2007
MGI Mar 2007
