For every cohort of genes described in this study, there were examples of genes that were expressed in vivo but not in culture. By far, ion transporters where the cohort that had the highest percentage of genes that cultured cells failed to express. Strikingly, most of these were potassium and calcium channels. The asterisk represents undetected in E14 cultures only.
