List of tissues for which tissue specific transcripts are predicted. This is a text file with a listing of all tissues for which specific trascripts exist along with the number of ESTs related to individual tissues. Furthermore, the ESTs derived from normalized libraries and the specific variants predicted via such ESTs are also listed.
