 A list of genes was compiled from the literature that had been shown to be cell cycle regulated by traditional methods in cells synchronized independent of serum stimulation. In each case we have listed the primary reference describing the cell cycle regulation of the gene and the predicted cell cycle phase. The cell cycle phase assigned in our study is shown on the right. ^*, histone genes were inappropriately assigned to G1/S because they are not polyadenylated and hence behaved sporadically in all experiments except the mitotic selection experiments where total RNA was labeled. Due to extensive literature on the cell cycle regulation of the histone genes and their S phase expression in the mitotic shake-off experiment, the phase was reassigned manually to S phase.

ND, not detected as cell cycle regulated; NM, not measured in our microassays.
