  1. Genes are listed as being enriched in expression in molar or incisor, with fold changes in expression in parentheses. Genes already known from the literature to be expressed in teeth appear in bold, and those for which a differential expression was reported for the two tooth types are underlined. Additional columns summarize the literature survey, scoring genes previously described as expressed in developing teeth ("Known in teeth"), as differentially expressed in both tooth types ("Known as differentially expressed"), or "new" (i.e. not described in the literature: right-most column).
