In situ hybridization validation of predicted SMC-specific genes. Forty-six EST clusters were chosen for validation by in situ hybridization in mouse E17.5 embryos. Genes were classified as SMC markers, SMC marker-related, nonselective, and technical failure, according to criteria described in Results. Expression, Number of detections in UniGene; correlation, Pearson's correlation with SM-MHC in the raw data set (see Methods); probability, logistic regression probability for a gene to be an SMC marker; IMAGE clone, probe template clone ID (see Methods). These results are visualized in Fig. 8. The logistic regression estimate of the total number of SMC markers in the list shown is 7.4; standard error 2.1
