From the group of 54 samples, 50 have been used in the main analysis, while four (not replicated, orphan^#, microarrays shown dashed in the table) have been used only for comparisons or as internal controls. Submission to the MIAME compliant Array Express Archive at EMBL_EBI has been done [EMBL_EBI:E-MEXP-2082].
