Estimated gene expression patterns obtained from the UniGene database at NCBI, which were inferred from EST counts and the cDNA library sources (as reported by sequence submitters at NCBI). Libraries known to be normalized, subtracted, or otherwise biased had been removed. Tissues or organs are ordered according to their potential to express the gene.
