↵^a The first three characters are the laboratory designator; the next three characters are the rearrayed plate number; the two letters and six numbers are the GenBank accession number of the EST used as probe; and the number after the dash is the number of the band detected in the autoradiograph, starting with the largest as number 1.
↵^b Near the end of the project, K. S. Gill relocated from the University of Nebraska to Washington State University; however, his laboratory designator was not changed.
↵^c Approximately midway through the project, H. T. Nguyen relocated from Texas Tech University to the University of Missouri and his laboratory designator changed accordingly.
