Welcome
to the XSPAN web site
The
overall objective of XSPAN is to support cross-species
access to tissue-based genetic information through
the development of an internet-based cross-species
anatomy network, i.e. a cross-species anatomy
ontology integration system.
This
system will provide interoperability between databases
of key model embryos which will, in turn, facilitate
access to gene expression and other tissue-based data
across species, and to other genomics and proteomics
resources.
XSPAN
is a joint project between the School of Mathematical
and Computer Sciences at Heriot-Watt
University, and the Schools of Biomedical
Sciences and Informatics at
the University
of Edinburgh.
XSPAN
is funded by the UK's Biotechnology and Biological Sciences
Research Council (BBSRC)
