RNA-Seq Edited by: Joana A. Palha, was performed at embryonic day (E) 15 and adult with additional data obtained at University of Minho, Portugal intermediate ages from microarray analysis. The largest represented functional group Reviewed by: in the embryo was amino acid transporters (twelve) with expression levels 2–98 times Fernanda Marques, University of Minho, Portugal greater than in the adult. In contrast, in the adult only six amino acid transporters Hanspeter Herzel, were up-regulated compared to the embryo and at more modest enrichment levels Humboldt University, Germany (<5-fold enrichment above E15).
