TRAFEX is a searchable database of gene expression data. To begin using TRAFEX, scroll down to the the three search options: Predefined Search, Simple Search, and Complex Search. All settings are saved as you navigate from one search option to another.

A global survey of RNA from 14 fetal and 12 adult human organs by RT-PCR determined the expression patterns of 790 genes encoding DNA-binding transcription factors. The data can be searched and sorted to identify sets of transcription factors with expression restricted to a given organ or to particular organ groups. These data are a resource to help define the spectrum of transcription factor control, contribute to the elucidation of transcription factor cascades responsible for the development and maintenance of each organ, and provide a baseline to study the effects of disease or developmental defects.
