As expected, a large portion of the genes show tissue specific expression in agreement with mappings to gene descriptions, Gene Ontology terms and KEGG pathways.
Arabidopsis gene descriptions and Gene Ontology (GO) annotation were obtained from TAIR (www.arabidopsis.org; TAIR genome v9, 11/06/2010).
In this gene list, gene descriptions are displayed when selecting the arrow next to the table header 'Gene'.
Among these unigenes, 35,276 were annotated with gene descriptions, conserved domains, gene ontology terms, and metabolic pathways.
HOX gene annotations were retrieved from the ENSEMBL gene descriptions.
The gene descriptions, given in Table S9, were directly exported from MapMan representations.
The genes were selected based on potential relevance to CNS development and/or disorders determined by 1) gene descriptions and 2) chromosomal mapping to disease-susceptibility loci and/or disease associations of respective human homologues.
Relevant information for MAUD hits and other genes of interest including gene descriptions, mapping coordinates (cytobands) of homologous human genes, and associated OMIM diseases were obtained from NCBI databases (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).nih.gov
The Gene Ontology (GO) project is an effort to standardize gene descriptions using a predefined vocabulary of functional terms [8], and GO terms are now widely used to functionally annotate genes and their protein products [21].
Ensembl gene descriptions were also a useful source of annotations.
The gene descriptions are shown in Table 1.
