+<p><strong>FINAL RECOMMENDED EYE DATA SET</strong>. The HEIMED September 2008 RMA data release provides estimates of gene expression in whole eyes of 103 lines of young adult mice generated using 221 Affymetrix M430 2.0 arrays. This data set is intended for exploration of the genetics and genomics of the mouse eye, retina, lens, retinal pigment epithelium, cornea, iris and choroid. Data were generated at UTHSC with support from a grant from Dr. Barrett Haik, Director of the Hamilton Eye Institute (<a class="normalsize" href="http://www.eye.utmem.edu/cvr/hei.html" target="_blank">HEI</a>). We used pooled RNA samples, usually two independent pools--one male, one female pool--for most lines of mice. This data set was processed using the <a class="normalsize" href="http://rmaexpress.bmbolstad.com/" target="_blank">RMA</a> protocol. A total of 2223 probes sets are associated with LRS values greater than 46 (LOD &gt;10).</p>
