Figure 4From: Identification of candidate genes for human pituitary development by EST analysisTissue expression patterns of 40 novel ESTs from human fetal pituitary. Relative levels of novel ESTs in different tissues were evaluated by semi-quantitative RT-PCR, and were represented as color boxes with shades on a scale based on the average ratio of the density of PCR product band between the experimental gene and reference gene β-actin. The patterns were clustered and viewed using Gene Cluster and TreeView software (Stanford University). The relatively pituitary-specific ESTs were indicated by words in red. 1, heart; 2, spleen; 3, lung; 4, muscle; 5, brain; 6, fetal pituitary; 7, testis; 8, kidney; 9, thymus; 10, small intestine.Back to article page
