    Link to The Medicago truncatula Gene Expression Atlas (MtGEA) Project (Noble foundation)


  • Truncatulix :
    Link to TRUNCATULIX: a platform for Medicago truncatula expression data (bielefeld university)


  • EMMA :
    Link to EMMA, which gives access to all the transcriptomics data sets stored in the ArrayLIMS and provides automated pipelines for data processing, allowing an automated or manual analysis of expression profiles (bielefeld university)


  • MENS : Medicago EST Navigation System
    Large-scale EST sequencing is an essential tool for functional genomics studies, as it allows the direct identification of large gene collections in a given organism and makes the corresponding clones available for further molecular investigation, such as genome-scale analyses based on DNA microarray technology. Moreover, random sequencing of cDNAs can yield useful information about the relative expression levels of the corresponding genes in different tissue samples. We are applying this strategy to the molecular study of root symbioses in Medicago truncatula
