This page provides current and past collaborations of the Bgee project (in alphabetical order).

TheOMA (Orthologous MAtrix) project is a method and database for the inference of orthologs among complete genomes.
As part of a scientific collaboration with OMA, we generated files containing gene expression in homologous anatomical entities. These files are available onBgee FTP.
The homologous expression files are also available and free to use for other projects or applications.

Salmobase has been created for making molecular genomic resources for salmonid species publically available in a framework of visualizations and analytic tools.
In coordination with Salmobase, Bgee developed anAtlantic salmon developmental stages ontology.

scFAIR is anOpen Research Data (ORD) project for the standardization and stewardship of single-cell metadata, funded by swissuniversities.
The Bgee group is involved with theASAP (SIB/EPFL) group in Switzerland, but the project is broader and involves alsoCZ CELLxGENE and everyone interested in the standardization of single-cell metadata.

SIB AI is an SIB call to bring added value to the scientific impact of SIB Resources, while proposing innovative technologies - Artificial Intelligence (AI) - that will benefit the scientific community.
The Bgee group is involved with theASAP/Deplancke (SIB/EPFL) group, and theRobinson Statistical Bioinformatics (SIB/UZH) group to develop a pilot implementation of annotation of single-cell RNA-Seq data guided by AI.

BioSODA project aims at enabling sophisticated semantic queries across large, decentralized and heterogeneous databases via an intuitive interface. The system will enable scientists, without prior training, to perform powerful joint queries across resources in ways that cannot be anticipated and therefore goes far and above the query functionality of specialized knowledge bases. It is supported byNFP75 'Big Data'.
For this project, we created a sub-database of Bgee called 'EasyBgee'. The MySQL dump is available onBgee FTP. You can see the description of 'EasyBgee' inBgee pipeline documentation.
BioSODA uses the 'EasyBgee' relational database to expose a Bgee SPARQL endpoint, reachable through the following URL:https://www.bgee.org/sparql/. In the context of this project, theBioQuery web application provides a user-friendly interface to query 'EasyBgee' database based on the SPARQL query language.
The SPARQL endpoint and 'EasyBgee' are available and free to use for other projects or applications.

TheINODE (Intelligent Open Data Exploration) project aims at simplifying access to data, by allowing a more dialectic and intuitive interaction with data, similar to a dialog with a human. The goal of INODE is to offer a suite of agile, fit-for-purpose and sustainable services for exploration of open data sets. It is funded by Horizon 2020 (project 863410).
The Bgee team is one of the three use-case providers which the system will be initially developed and evaluated with. Bgee provides its expression data, and the cancer biomarker data from OncoMX (see below). The Bgee team collaborates on specifying the requirements of the system, adapting the data structure and format, and testing and evaluating the system.

OncoMX is a knowledgebase of unified cancer genomics data from integrated mutation, expression, literature, and biomarker databases, accessible through a web portal. It is supported byNIH NCI.
For this project, we generated files containing a subset of calls of presence/absence of expression with expression level categories specific to OncoMX. Files are available onBgee FTP. You can see the description of these files inBgee pipeline documentation.
