Figure 6. Specificity of expression of genes in human and mouse kidney sub-structures and tissues. A.

Figure 6

Distribution of expression specificity (τ) of genes present in HMKS database (full lines) and in SAGE libraries from tissues (Table S2, stippled lines). The black and red lines correspond to human and mouse genes respectively. B. Distribution of τ for 1943 genes from HMKS (full lines) selected to display a similar profile of τ distribution as genes in the SAGE libraries from tissues (stippled lines). C. Hierarchical clustering of the 1943 selected genes from HMKS with high expression specificity confirms the divergence in gene expression profile between human and mouse kidney sub-structures.
