Introduction
Gene overexpression or underexpression is always closely related to some diseases, it contributes to phenotypic mutation and diversity causing human diseases. To provide an overview knowledge in this field, OUGene is developed to compile a comprehensive disease-associated overexpressed and underexpressed genes, including protein, miRNA, lncRNA and other genes, using text mining pipeline and some public curated database. OUGene can be queried through single or multiple gene and disease names, and it can show gene-centric and disease-centric association netowrk, and their shared relations via Cytoscape Web plugin, which can give insights to the complex relationships between over- and under-expressed genes and diseases at a system level.
