Tertiary Analysis: Connecting Function with Expression Patterns

• Annotation– UniGene/Swiss-Prot, SOURCE, CARS

• Biased functional assessment– Functional group interrogation

Manual, GenMAPP, GeneSpring

• Non-biased functional queries– PubGen– MAPPFinder, DAVID/Ease, GEPAS, others– Cytoscape

• Overlaying genomics and genetics– WebQTL
