Table 5. Main research questions considered in previous retinal gene expression studies
This table shows the overview of main research questions from previous retinal gene expression studies. The abbreviations in the table are: expressed sequence tagged site (EST); serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE); rod outer segment (ROS); retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).
