^aIf a probeset interrogates a RNA transcript with no gene symbol (“—”) approved by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee at the European Bioinformatics Institute (http://www.genenames.org), it is shown as a “transcribed locus”. Other details on the probesets are freely accessible at http://www.netaffx.com.

^bOnly 15 transcripts with the greatest fold-change values are shown. The remaining 171 transcripts are shown in Table S6.

SPB, spontaneous preterm birth; STB, spontaneous term birth.
