Table 2. Gene ontology categories for all zebrafish eye library transcripts

Gene functions were assigned to each of the eye library clusters identified with GenBank accession numbers using GeneSifter. The gene ontologies were categorized by molecular function, cellular component, and biological process. The total numbers of genes in the different functional subcategories are listed. The percentages apply to the total number of genes in each category.
