Exon Array expression data from 13 areas of the late second trimester human brain

Tissue was microdissected from 13 regions, including 9 distinct neocortical areas, from both left and right sides of four late second trimester human brain specimens. Gene- and exon-level differential expression analyses were performed by mixed model, nested analysis of variance using the XRAY software from Biotique Systems. Further details available in Johnson, Kawasawa, et al., "Functional and Evolutionary Insights into Human Brain Development through Global Transcriptome Analysis" Neuron, Volume 62, Issue 4, 2009 Keywords: gene- and exon-level analyses For initial analysis, all neocortex samples were grouped together. In subsequent analyses, neocortex areas were compared with each other. In most analyses reported, left and right side samples were treated as additional biological replicates.
