  1. The first column gives the gene name and the clone ID, both of which can be used to query the described database [22] for additional data. In the second column the localization of expression in the embryo is given, where E is endoderm and SMC is secondary mesenchyme cell. The third column (Regulation) gives the differential expression ratios (expression in treatment/expression control) based on the array experiment for lithium (Li) and zinc (Zn) treated embryos (values above 1 indicate upregulation and values below 1 indicate downregulation). The column 'P value' indicates the statistical probability that the regulation could happen by chance (see Materials and methods for detail). The column Q-PCR (quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction) gives the differential expression ratios (expression in treatment/expression control) and the error, as determined by Q-PCR. (Values expressed in copies of mRNA molecules/embryo are provided via the expressed sequence tag database [75]; see Materials and methods for details on Q-PCR). aDifferential expression based on array and Q-PCR data do not correlate. na, not analyzed; nd, no statistically relevant differential expression; ne, not expressed; ?, expression pattern unknown.
