[i] The corresponding mRNA to each tag has been determined when possible. The human homolog for most of these was determined using UniGene searches. For each mouse tag sequence the numbers of detected copies in ∼150,000 tags from mouse brain SAGE libraries (No. of mice tags) are shown. The presence of polyadenylation signal in the corresponding mouse UniGene entry (Mouse UniGene no.) was noted (pA signal). The corresponding human transcript was obtained from the human UniGene library (Human UniGene no.) and the number of tags representing this transcript in 150,000 tags from human brain SAGE library was determined (No. of human tags). Mouse transcripts with known poly(A) signal for which the homolog was detected in the human brain transcriptome are shaded in gray.
