Mirrored tissue-specific expression (red) and absolute EST representation (green) for whole ExQuest chromosomes. Maximum scales set for specific or absolute expression is within the circle at the centromere. (a) Pancreas expression for mouse chromosome 10 showing peak position of the LOD for the QTL Tafat over a pancreas expression peak that contains the gene Ela2. (b) Quantitative tissue specific expression profile for the gene Ela2. Results are derived from the number of Ela2-aligned EST hits normalized for library density. (c) Pancreas expression for mouse chromosome 19. Genes in the Tinidd1 and T2dm2 region are pancreas specific (red) and highly expressed (green). Arrow shows a 20X zoom of 3 individual genes Pnlip (1810018F18Rik), Pnliprp1 and Pnliprp2, which contribute to the large pancreatic histogram peak.
