-<p>Almost all animals are young adults between 60 and 100 days of age (Table 1, minimum age is 60 and maximum age is 118 days). We measured expression in conventional inbred strains, BXD recombinant inbred (RI) strains, and reciprocal F1s between C57BL/6J and DBA/2J.</p>

-<p>BXD strains: The first 32 of these strains are from the Taylor series of BXD strains generated at the Jackson Laboratory by Benjamin A. Taylor. BXD1 through BXD32 were started in the late 1970s, whereas BXD33 through 42 were started in the 1990s. BXD43 and higher were bred by Lu Lu, Jeremy Peirce, Lee M. Silver, and Robert W. Williams starting in 1997 using B6D2 generation 10 advanced intercross progeny. This modified breeding protocol doubles the number of recombinations per BXD strain and improves mapping resolution (Peirce et al. 2004). All of the Taylor series of BXD strains and many of the new BXD strains are available from the Jackson Laboratory. Several strains were specifically excluded from the dataset. For the BXD43 and higher, the DBA/2J parent carried both the Tyrp-1 mutation and the Gpnmb mutation and these two mutations produce pigment dispersion glaucoma. All of the mice carrying these two mutations were not included in the dataset: BXD53, BXD55, BXD62, BXD66, BXD68, BXD74, BXD77, BXD81, BXD88, BXD89, BXD95 and BXD98. In addition BXD 24 was omitted, since it developed a spontaneous mutation, rd16 (Cep290) which resulted in retinal degeneration and was renamed BXD24b/TyJ (ref). Several additional strains were excluded due to abnormally high Gfap levels observed in our Full HEI Retina (April 2010) dataset, these include: BXD32, BXD49, BXD70, BXD83 and BXD89.</p>

-<p>ll of the procedures used involving mice were approved by IACUC at the Emory University and adhered to the ARVO Statement for the Use of Animals in Research. The Department of Defense (DoD) Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) Normal Retina Database uses the Affymetrix MouseGene 2.0 ST Array (May 15, 2015). Robust multiarray average (RMA) analysis and scaling were conducted by Arthur Centeno. This data set consists of 52 BXD strains, C57BL/6J, DBA/2J, and an F1 cross between C57BL/6J and DBA/2J. A total of 55 strains were quantified. There is a total of 222 microarrays. All data from each microarray used in this data set is publicly available on&nbsp;<a href="http://www.genenetwork.org/" style="color: rgb(79, 49, 87);">GeneNetwork</a>.</p>

-<p>These are RMA expression data that have been normalized using what we call a 2<em>z</em>+8 scale, but without corrections for batch effects. The data for each strain were computed as the mean of four samples per strain. The expression values on the log<sub>2</sub>&nbsp;scale ranged from 3.81 to 14.25 (10.26 units), a nominal range of approximately 1,000-fold. After taking the log<sub>2</sub>&nbsp;of the original non-logged expression estimates, we converted the data within an array to a z-score. We then multiplied the z-score by 2. Finally, we added 8 units to ensure that no values were negative. The result was a scale with the mean expression of the probes on the array of 8 units and a standard deviation of 2 units. A twofold difference in expression is equivalent to roughly 1 unit on this scale. The lowest level of expression was 3.81 (<em>Olfr1186</em>) from the DoD CDMRP (the Normal Retina Database uses the Affymetrix MouseGene 2.0 ST Array, May 15, 2015). The highest level of expression was rhodopsin for&nbsp;<em>17462036</em>&nbsp;(Rho). The highest single value was 14.25.</p>

-<p>Affymetrix Mouse Gene 2.0 ST Array: These expression arrays have been designed with a median of 22 unique probes per transcript. Each unique probe is 25 bases in length, which means that the array measures a median of 550 bases per transcript. The arrays provide comprehensive transcriptome coverage with over 30,000 coding and non-coding transcripts. In addition there is coverage for over 600 microRNAs. For some arrays the RNA was pooled from two retinas and for other arrays were run on a single retina. Dr. XiangDi Wang (UTHSC) and Becky King (Emory) were involved in the retinal extractions and isolation of RNA. The Affymetrix arrays were run by two different research cores: the Molecular Resource Center at UTHSC (Dr. William Taylor Director) and the Integrated Genomics Core at Emory University by Robert B Isett (Dr. Michael E. Zwick, Director). In a separate set of experiments we tested a set of arrays from C57BL/6J retinas run at each facility to determine if there were batch effects or other confounding differences in the results. We could not detect any significant difference in the arrays run at UTHSC or at Emory University. Thus, we have included both sets of data into the analysis.</p>

-<p>Tissue preparation protocol. Mice were killed by rapid cervical dislocation. Retinas were removed immediately and placed in 1 ml of 160 U/ml Ribolock for 1 min at room temperature. The retinas were removed from the eye and placed in Hank&rsquo;s Balanced Salt solution with RiboLock in 50&micro;l Ribolock (Thermo Scientific RiboLock RNase #EO0381 40U/&micro;l 2500U) and stored in -80&deg;C. The RNA was isolated using a QiaCube and the in column DNAse procedure. All RNA samples were checked for quality before running microarrays. The samples were analyzed using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. The RNA integrity values for ranged from 7.0 to 10. Our goal was to obtain data for independent biological sample pools from both sexes for most lines of mice. The four batches of arrays included in this final data set, collectively represent a reasonably well-balanced sample of males and females, in general without within-strain-by-sex replication.</p>
