MicroArray Analysis

Entrez gene ID 270802 1. click link to 270802 2. click link to symatlas 3. find correlated

Symatlas is a database full of microarray data for genes in different tissues. It has the function to find correlated microarray data which brings up genes with similar expression data.

The results of a correlation search give a fair few corresponding genes with similar microarray expressions, however the presence of several olfactory receptors seemed interesting : Olfr435, Olfr57, Olfr829, Olfr30.

As the structural team have found a GAF domain on the C-terminal, i tried to find a link between olfactory receptors and the GAF domain. - related to cGMP and PDEs???
