The GENSAT database contains a series of images related to gene expression experiments. The images are indexed on a number of fields relevant to biological discovery. Some examples of how to search are:

General Entrez search help:

• Search items are case-insensitive.
• Join phrases with AND, OR, and NOT. These join words are case sensitive and should be capitalized.

Search by gene symbol: drd* This will search for all images annotated on a gene whose symbol is like 'drd'.

Search by gene name: dopamine This will search for all images annotated on a gene whose name contains the word 'dopamine'.

Search by mouse age: In order to search by the age of the animal, the age should be followed by the word age in square brackets: dopamine AND adult[age] This will search for all images annotated on a gene whose name contains the word 'dopamine' and which were completed in an adult mouse. Currently, the database contains images obtained at the ages E10.5 (embryonic day 10.5), E15.5 (embryonic dat 15.5), P7 (post-natal day 7) and adult.

Search by section: GENSAT images are obtained using several different procedures. In some of these procedures, the images obtained are stereotactically determined and correspond to known positions in standard neuroanatomical atlases. The sections for these follow a standard numbering from section 01 to section 11, as outlined in the GENSAT methods.
To search by section, you should append the section followed by the word 'section' in brackets: kinase AND 06[section] This searches for all images annotated on genes whose names contain the word kinase and for which an image at section '06' is available.
