ATTED-II (http://atted.jp) is a gene coexpression database for a wide variety of experimental designs, such as prioritizations of genes for functional identification and analyses of the regulatory relationships among genes.

We have recently updated ATTED-II focusing on two new features: (1) To deeply analyze gene coexpression data, we prepared condition-specific coexpressions from five types of experimental sets (tissue, abiotic stress, biotic stress, hormones and light conditions). User can evaluate the coexpression by employing comparative gene lists and switchable gene networks. (2) In addition to Arabidopsis coexpression, rice coexpression is now available.

The representation of comparison tables between these two model species will make it possible to analyze the conservation of coexpression among flowering plants. With the ability to investigate condition-specific coexpression and species conservation, ATTED-II can help researchers to clarify the functional and regulatory networks of genes in a broad array of plant species.
