How to get all the cell types (neurons, actually) in which a gene is expressed?
When we curate a gene, we enter all the cells and cell groups that express the gene. This information can be easily viewed by clicking the “details” button at the gene page. For example, if you search for eat-16, which is expressed in neurons: 1. At the WormBase home page, select “Any gene” and search for “eat-16”, and select “Exact Match”, this will take you to the Gene Summary page for eat-16. 2. In the Function section, you will see “Anatomimic Expression Pattern”. Here you will see some information about the eat-16 expression pattern, at the very end of the entry, you will see a link “Details”. 3. If you click here, you will be brought to the Expression Pattern page for eat-16. On this page you will see the detailed cell and cell group information associated with eat-16. (To keep annotation easy, when a gene is expressed in lots of cells, we enter cell group name instead of all the cell names one by one. Each cell group will include the list of cells associated.
