Important Notice ! [End of READ search service]

We terminated all READ search services (e.g. keyword search, BLAST, array viewer) because of several reasons. You can download raw files of the services from the archived directory.

New!

All READ search services were terminated. (2013/8/26)
READ data are now available from CIBEX. (2004/10/01)
Data for absolute READ is now available here. (2004/02/13)
New READ paper published: Rimantas Kodzius et al. FEBS Lett. 2004 Feb 13;559(1-3):22-6 "Absolute expression values for mouse transcripts: re-annotation of the READ expression database by the use of CAGE and EST sequence tags". (2004/02/13)
The lists of clones (RIKEN_20K(18,816 cDNA clones for microarray analysis) ,FANTOM1 set(21,076 cDNA clones), and FANTOM2 set(60,770 cDNA clones)) are now available from TIGR Resourcerer database [More information in Japanese] (2003/02/24)
Thanks to Itoshi Nikaido, READ is now accessible from mouse version of Ensembl Genome browser by adding 'RIKEN20k_1" to DAS sources. Please specify http://ensembl.gsc.riken.go.jp/cgi-bin/das/ for your optional DAS sever.(2003/02/18)
New paper(Kadota, K. et al. Physiol.Genomics, 12, 563-573 (2003)) using data from READ! (2003/02/10)
Renewed with TiO(Tissue Ontology) slim. Similar tissues (eg. heart and muscle) are clustered in the gene expression viewer. (2002/06/26)
The list of clones with our rearrayid, cloneid, accession, and description is available (2002/03/06)
The list of 49tissues in the PNAS paper is re-listed on the web
