Here, we describe the BioMart interface to the eMouseAtlas gene expression database EMAGE. EMAGE is a spatiotemporal database of in situ gene expression patterns in the developing mouse embryo. BioMart provides a generic web query interface and programmable access using web services. The BioMart interface extends access to EMAGE via a powerful method of structuring complex queries and one with which users may already be familiar with from other BioMart implementations. The interface is structured into several data sets providing the user with comprehensive query access to the EMAGE data. The federated nature of BioMart allows scope for integration and cross querying of EMAGE with other similar BioMarts.
在这里，我们描述了 BioMart 与 eMouseAtlas 基因表达数据库 EMAGE 的接口。EMAGE 是一个时空数据库，包含了发育中的小鼠胚胎中基因表达模式的原位信息。BioMart 提供了通用的 Web 查询界面和可编程的 Web 服务访问。BioMart 接口通过一种强大的方法扩展了对 EMAGE 的访问，该方法可以构造复杂的查询，用户可能已经从其他 BioMart 实现中熟悉这种方法。该接口分为几个数据集，为用户提供对 EMAGE 数据的全面查询访问。BioMart 的联邦性质允许与其他类似的 BioMart 进行集成和交叉查询。
