The present analysis has yielded a useful tool to aid transcriptomic research into human and mouse genes. Obvious applications include the ready retrieval of information on genes expressed differentially in a tissue of interest and the tissue distribution and expression specificity of a particular gene or of a human and mouse ortholog pair. The presence of orthologs with divergent expression profiles may hint at novel functions, divergent regulation, or new ortholog relationship and guide future studies.
