Selected Gene Expression and Existence Bit Strings

Xiao Liang's dataset provides expression and existence bit strings for a curated set of genes. The 5.5 KB XLS file, last updated in May 2026, includes genes absent from small clades with specific bit string patterns. For genes expressed in fewer than five tissues, the specific tissues are listed.

Use Cases

• Identify genes with conserved expression patterns based on the 1111 or 1110 bit strings.
• Analyze gene absence in specific evolutionary clades based on the selection criteria.
• Study tissue-specific gene expression by examining the listed tissues for low-expression genes.

Strengths

• Dataset is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.
• Specific selection criteria (bit strings 1111/1110, absence from small clades) define a clear, focused gene set.
• License is CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Row count and column definitions are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness require verification.
