Table 6. Abundant lens transcripts, not including crystallins

The genes corresponding to the most abundant transcripts in the adult lens that are not crystallins are listed in the table. GenBank accession numbers and UniGene cluster identifications are shown. Some of the genes identified by Unigene matches were not identified by GenBank entries. Chromosome assignments for some of the identified genes and the numbers of sequenced clones in each gene cluster (n) are also listed in the table.
