1* indicates a statistically significant decrease in gene expression at P < 0.05 level; ** indicates a statistically significant decrease in gene expression at P < 0.01 level.

2Sequence annotation was carried out using approved gene symbols (human genome nomenclature) via the IBISS4 database [17]. BLAST [15] scores > 110 and e-values < 2 E-23 were accepted for annotation purposes.

3in cases where more than 1 microarray element was used to calculate the expression data, the accession number of 1 representative element is shown.

4Number of microarray elements representing the same gene that were used to calculate the expression data.

5To obtain the ratios shown, averaged absolute microarray signal intensity values for d 135, 195 and birth were divided by the signal intensities measured at d 60.
