Expression Atlas
Expression Atlas is EMBL-EBI's open resource for exploring gene and protein expression across species, tissues, cell types, developmental stages, and experimental conditions. It is organized into a Baseline Atlas, reporting where genes and proteins are expressed under normal conditions, and a Differential Atlas, reporting how expression changes between conditions (for example disease versus control or treatment versus control). Its content is built from thousands of curated and consistently reanalyzed RNA-seq and microarray studies, including single-cell RNA-seq experiments.
