(Abs) Abstract, (n/a) not applicable, (w/o abstract) without abstract, (mol. interact) molecular interaction information-containing sentences. Term: refers to number of non-redundant GO or disease MeSH terms. All numbers are nonredundant. Note that one clone can be associated with multiple abstracts. Cleaning of abstracts affected 11,351 transcripts, of which 1,168 had only one abstract. Therefore, the number of clones with remaining abstracts is 20,611
