ATTED-II version Date Contents
ver 12.0 2024.09.27 New Functionality To improve understanding of individual coexpression relationships, we’ve added a new page called "PC View" that displays the Principal Components (PCs) of gene expression data, which can be interpreted as meta-samples. This page shows, for each PC, 10 studies (SRPs) with six representative samples (the three with the highest and three with the lowest loading values). It highlights how sample annotations typically distinguish between the highest and lowest values. Additionally, the top 100 up- and down-regulated genes for each PC are displayed.
NetworkDrawer Paralogous genes based on KEGG Orthology can be highlighted by color. This function facilitates coexpression relationships among multiple gene families.
Enhanced Integration Hyperlinks to Plant GARDEN and its GBrowse are now available from the Arabidopsis gene pages. Plant GARDEN includes genome information for non-model species, complementing ATTED-II’s focus on model species.
Updated Data NA-seq coexpression data have been updated for all species (Xxx-r). New coexpression data for wheat and barley have been added. Additionally, the Ath-r data set has been decomposed into Ath-e, which specifically focuses on Arabidopsis ecotype comparisons. The new Ath-r data set no longer includes experiments comparing ecotypes.
ver 11.1 2022.06.03 New data The calculation of the union version of the coexpression data (Xxx-u) has been revised. Xxx-u is determined as the mean value between Xxx-r and Xxx-m. For the gene pairs with only Xxx-r, linear regression from Xxx-r to Xxx-u was used in the previous versions, whereas the Xxx-r value is directly scaled to obtain the Xxx-u value in the current version in the following equation. Xxx-u(g1,g2) = (1/2)^alpha * Xxx-r(g1,g2). Based on the function score of Xxx-u, alpha=0.2 was commonly used for all species.
Tool The global view of coexpression data is newly released, which is the UMAP representation of coexpression relationships in species.
ver 11.0 2021.02.23 New Index The coexpression index, LS (Logit Score), is newly provided as a z-score. The original LS values can have a large range of values depending on the parameters in a calculation step. This makes it difficult to compare different versions of coexpression data. By converting to Z-values, the range of values is aligned and the intercomparability of coexpression values is greatly improved.
New data The following two factors improve the performance of coexpression data; (1) optimizing the calculation parameters and (2) to increased number of RNAseq data.
ver 10.1 2020.10.01 NetworkDrawer In the version 10.0, there was a bug in the network drawing function (NetworkDrawer and gene network in the gene pages etc). In ATTED-II, the network edge is supposed to be drawn from each gene to the three most (namely, first, second and third) strongly co-expressed genes. However, ATTED-II v10.0, the most strongly co-expressed genes was mistakenly skipped and edges were drawn on the second, third and fourth most strongly co-expressed genes. This bug has been resolved in ATTED-II v10.1. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.
ver.10.0 2020.07.31 NetworkDrawer For simple representation, a functionality to represent the conserved coexpression in orange is disabled, because the union-version coexpression data includes reproducibility between microarray and RNAseq data.
2020.06.24 New Index LS (Logit Score) is introduced. Larger LS indicates stronger coexpression, and LS=0 indicates no coexpression. LS is a monotonic transformation (negative logit) of MR index. To easily understand this transformation, these two indices can be changed with a radio button in coexpressed gene list pages.
New Data New coexpression data are available for 17 data sets of 9 species. In addition to the microarray-based (Xxx-m) and RNAseq-based (Xxx-r) coexpression data, ATTED-II now provides a unified version of coexpression for each species (Xxx-u), which is calculated by linear regression of Xxx-m and Xxx-r coexpression data in each species

ver.5.5 2010.05.20 Draw "NetworkDrawer" is renewed to draw larger gene networks.
  • New options to collect additional coexpressed genes.
    • [Add no genes]
    • [Add genes directly connected with query genes] This is the previous setting. Additional genes with at least 2 query genes are selected.
    • [Add genes indirectly conneted with query genes] Up to 20 coexpressed genes in "gene page" for each of query genes are selected. Genes only connected with single gene is omitted.
  • New function is available to refine the obtained figure.
    After obtaining the gene network, user can refine the figure by following ways.
    1. Enlarge or shrink the figure.
    2. Set exact position of genes.
    3. Using spline edge.
      Before this renewal, the spline edge was always ON. We apply it OFF as default to draw larger gene network.
2010.03.05 Draw "Tool" tab is renamed "Draw" tab.
Search The function to making unified coexpressed gene list from multiple genes were previously provided as a part of [Tool > NetworkDrawer]. This function is newly supplied as [Search > CoexSearch].

Stability of coexpression is roughly corresponding to the number of samples which support the focused gene-to-gene correlation.
2008.10.27 Publication ATTED-II official reference was renewed. (Publication)
2008.09.10 Version numbering ATTED-II has two types of important versions: version for ATTED-II and version for coexpression data.
  • To prevent confusions between the two types of versions, we added extra "c" for coexpression version (e.g. version c4.0).
  • To ensure consistency with ATTED-II version, present coexpression version (ver. 5) was renamed as ver. c4.1, and ver. c5.0 becomes a missing version.
2008.09.05 Google Map Networks for six subcellular locations were updated with PPI and KEGG pathway information. (Browsing > Coexpressed gene network for subcellular locations)

2008.04.14 representation Following three points were changed for drawing tool of coexpressed gene network.
  • An option was added for drawing singlet query nodes.
  • The default selection for making coexpressed gene list is changed to "Not execute".
    The function of making coexpressed gene list from multiple query genes assumes that the query genes are coexpressed well. This assumption is sometimes not fulfilled with the use of drawing coexpressed gene networks for grouping purposes of query genes.
2008.04.07 data update Coexpression data was updated to version 5 c4.1 (except Google Map coexpression network). The following two points were changed from version c4.0.
