Summary
StemBase is a database of gene expression data obtained from stem cells and derivatives mainly from mouse and human using DNA microarrays and Serial Analysis of Gene Expression. Here, we describe this database and indicate ways to use it for the study the expression of particular genes in stem cells or to search for genes with particular expression profiles in stem cells, which could be associated to stem cell function or used as stem cell markers.
