  • Of the 264 FGFs, transcription factors, related genes, and homologous ESTs identified in our limb SAGE libraries with the ehm-tag-mapping method, only 43 tags, listed here, were specific to the limb sibraries after a virtual subtraction of the non-limb pooled SAGE library.

  • Copies per cell was calculated assuming, on average, 500,000 transcripts in a cell (Hastie and Bishop 1976).

  • See Methods for a description of these values.
