In clone codes, RA refers to the clones that have been negatively selected by subtraction with mature hematopoietic cells. Note that Bmi-1 and Notch 1 were identified during the sequencing of the random clones. ZF indicates zinc finger; TM, transmembrane; KH, K homology RNA-binding domain; HMG, high-mobility group; TCR, T-cell receptor; RRM, RNA recognition motif.

The EST (expressed sequence tag) sequences that are predominantly expressed in hematopoietic stem cells are available at the web-accessible database at www.systemsbiology.org/research/stemcells. This EST database also applies to Tables 2 and 3.
