Table 5. Most abundant lens transcripts

The table lists the most abundantly expressed genes in the adult zebrafish lens. GenBank accession numbers and UniGene cluster identifications are shown. Some clones failed to match GenBank, but were identified based on UniGene matches. Chromosome assignments for some of the genes and the numbers of sequenced clones in each gene cluster (n) are indicated.
