Table S1 - Identification of Novel Tissue-Specific Genes by Analysis of Microarray Databases: A Human and Mouse Model

Tissue-specific gene expression values based on GEO DataSet(GDS)596 for the human and GDS3142 for the mouse. The microarray gene expression profiles for the six tissues (kidney, liver, lung, heart, muscle, and adipose tissue) of the human and mouse were collected from GEO DataSet(GDS) in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) web page. *Average gene expression values for each tissue including a target tissue were obtained. **Those average values for each tissue were divided by an average value of a target tissue and then averaged for obtaining one representative value. If the representative value is lower, then tissue-specificity for a target tissue is higher because it was divided by an average value of a target tissue. ***An alternative approach shows that an average value of a target tissue was divided by average of averages for each tissue. If the result value is higher, then tissue-specificity for a target tissue is higher because an average value of a target tissue was divided. Figure 1 shows the schematic diagram for the above procedures.
