For each DNA fragment tested the following information is given, from left to right: the gene locus in which the DNA fragment is found; indication about the GO classification of the gene in the 'trans-dev' class (Y = yes, N = no); the identifier given to the SCE or control fragment; the size of the SCE; the class (rev = reversed, mov = moved, mre = moved and reversed, col = collinear, Ctrl = control); summary about the potentially enhancer function of the element (Y = yes, N = no); the number of embryos injected; the total number of cells X-gal-stained; the ratio of stained cells divided by the number of embryos observed (with bold highlighting those with significant generalized enhancer activity); the P values for the significance of the number of cells observed in the fragment tested versus the lacZ:HSP control for each tissue (bold for P values < 0.01; see Materials and methods). See Additional data file 3 for further info on the fragments tested. CNS, central nervous system; SCE, shuffled conserved element.
