Gene Expression Omnibus

The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) is a public database that stores and shares large sets of genetic data generated by researchers worldwide. It mainly focuses on gene activity, showing how genes turn on or off in different conditions or tissues. Scientists use GEO to compare results, find patterns, and advance understanding of biology and disease. Think of it as an online library where genetic experiments are stored openly, promoting collaboration and discovery in the scientific community.
