In 2018, the DNA DataBank of Japan started a similar repository called the Genomic Expression Archive (GEA). These databases are useful resources for the functional interpretation of genes, but have been separately maintained and may lack RNA-seq data, while the original sequence data are available in the Sequence Read Archive (SRA). We constructed an index for those gene expression data repositories, called All Of gene Expression (AOE), to integrate publicly available gene expression data. The web interface of AOE can graphically query data in addition to the application programming interface. By collecting gene expression data from RNA-seq in the SRA, AOE also includes data not included in GEO and AE. AOE is accessible as a search tool from the GEA website and is freely available at https://aoe.dbcls.jp/.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-data-access", "statement": "The constructed data are archived in the Life Science Database Archive at the National Bioscience Database Center (NBDC), Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), and is available at the DOI: 10.18908/lsdba.nbdc00467-000 (https://doi.org/10.18908/lsdba.nbdc00467-000).", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:31978081", "locator": "sections[4] \"An index of gene expression data series from metadata\" paragraph 6", "quote": "The constructed data are archived in the Life Science Database Archive at the National Bioscience Database Center (NBDC), Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), and is available at the DOI: 10.18908/lsdba.nbdc00467-000 (https://doi.org/10.18908/lsdba.nbdc00467-000)."}], "state": "complete"}], "gaps": []}, "experiment": {"state": "partial", "objective": null, "steps": [{"id": "read_published_estimate", "order": 1, "name": "Read the published estimate from the source", "kind": "other", "state": "complete", "blocked_on": null, "description": "The claim, method and evidence span published with the source article.", "duration_hours": null, "parameters": {}, "inputs": ["source:pmid:31978081"], "outputs": ["the published estimate and its evidence"], "instruments": [], "reagents": []}, {"id": "obtain_source_data", "order": 2, "name": "Obtain the source data from the named repository", "kind": "data-preparation", "state": "blocked", "blocked_on": "data:accession_absent", "description": "The GEO series accession resolves and its sample accessions are listed.
