Abstract

This invention provides methods for discovering maintenance genes and for using maintenance genes. In one embodiment, the expression of at least three maintenance genes are measured and used as reference (or control) for comparing the expression of target genes in two or more biological samples.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for identifying a maintenance gene comprising: 
 determining the expression of at least one hundred genes in at least two different types of tissues in two different developmental stages; and    indicating a gene that is expressed at the same level in said tissues in said stages as said maintenance gene.    
     
     
         2 - 12 . (Cancelled)
