Discover gene expression data in animals
Bgee is a database for retrieval and comparison of gene expression patterns across multiple animal species. It provides an intuitive answer to the question "where is a gene expressed?" and supports research in cancer and agriculture, as well as evolutionary biology.

Expression comparison
Compare gene expression for a list of genes in anatomical entities. Compare
Expression enrichment analysis
Tool similar to a GO enrichment test but rather than using Gene Ontology annotations it is based on anatomical annotations. Analyse
Curated annotations
Explore all libraries in Bgee that match your selected conditions and access their fully annotated raw (unprocessed) data. Explore

Bgee becomes an ELIXIR Core Data Resource
We are happy to announce that Bgee has been selected as an ELIXIR Core Data Resource by ELIXIR. It means that ELIXIR experts consider Bgee as a resource of fundamental importance to the wider life-science community and the long-term preservation of biological data. We are very pleased that our contribution is recognized in data curation and standardization, ontology development, and in creating new knowledge from gene expression data. Bgee joins the list of 38 ELIXIR Core Data Resources.
This is of course great news for us, but more importantly should allow us in the future to better support our activities, in order to continue providing effective access to reusable gene expression data, and develop new tools to support your research activities.
