Medullary raphé regions collected and sequence results

A, rat brain (mid-sagittal) with indication of rostrocaudal levels from which medullary raphé tissue punches were obtained. B and C, coronal sections of the medulla at −13.3 mm and −11.0 mm, respectively, with the areas (orange) indicating tissue punch collection sites. D, transcript expression data summarizing total known and unknown genes identified in each cDNA library sequenced (n = number of rats/library) with abundance (FPKM) of more than 1.0 or 5.0 FPKM. Note the similarity among libraries within and across strains in total transcript numbers, indicating reproducibility. BN, brown Norway (rat); SS, Dahl salt-sensitive (rat).
