The clone set was assembled from embryonic and newborn organ libraries consisting of ∼120,000 cDNA clones, which were initially re-arrayed into a set of ∼11,000 unique cDNA clones. A set of tubes was constructed from the racks in this set to prevent contamination and potential mishandling errors in all further re-arrays. Sequences from this set (11K) were analyzed further for quality and clone identity, and high-quality clones with verified identity were re-arrayed into the final set (7.4K). The set is freely available, and a corresponding database was built to provide comprehensive annotation for those clones with known identity or homology, and has been made available through an extensive Web site that includes many link-outs to external databases and analysis servers.[The sequence data from this study have been submitted to GenBank under accession nos.
