Abstract
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder occurring almost exclusively in females and leading to a variety of impairments and disabilities from mild to severe. In >95% cases, RTT is due to mutations in the X-linked gene MECP2, but the molecular mechanisms determining RTT are unknown at present, and the complexity of the system is challenging. To facilitate and provide guidance to the unraveling of those mechanisms, we developed a database resource for the visualization and analysis of the genomic landscape in the context of wild-type or mutated Mecp2 gene in the mouse model. Our resource allows for the exploration of differential dynamics of gene expression and the prediction of new potential MECP2 target genes to decipher the RTT disorder molecular mechanisms.

期刊介绍：
Huge volumes of primary data are archived in numerous open-access databases, and with new generation technologies becoming more common in laboratories, large datasets will become even more prevalent. The archiving, curation, analysis and interpretation of all of these data are a challenge. Database development and biocuration are at the forefront of the endeavor to make sense of this mounting deluge of data.
Database: The Journal of Biological Databases and Curation provides an open access platform for the presentation of novel ideas in database research and biocuration, and aims to help strengthen the bridge between database developers, curators, and users.
