Database description	The Rice Expression Database (RED) is a database that aggregates the gene expression data that has been analyzed using 8987EST array in the Microarray Project that was underway as part of the Rice Genome Project. RED holds raw and normalized data from expression profiles obtained by the Rice Microarray Project and other research groups.
Features and manner of utilization of database	If you are interested in a particular research subject, can find the appropriate "Research ID" from the red_subject_info table. You will then get the experimental data for the selected research. Also, you can find the Accession number for a particular gene from the red_est table. Then, you will then get expression profiles under various experimental conditions against results of Array-BLAST.
