Uneven size distribution of mammalian genes in the number of tissues expressed and in the number of co-expressed genes.

Abstract excerpt

Tissue specificity, the traditional predictor of gene function, has recently been used to interpret the selective pressure associated with gene architecture. In this work, we examine gene structures and their relation to the number of tissues expressed and to the number of co-expressed genes, using a recent atlas of microarray-based mouse gene expression in 55 normal tissues. We define tissue specificity and...
