The microarray datasets used in this study (table 2) were generated by collaborative efforts [46], [47], [49]–[52]. All datasets can be accessed from www.genenetwork.org. They provide estimates of global mRNA abundance in neural and non-neural tissues in the BXD, LXS, and CXB RI strains, B6D2F2 intercrosses, and B6C3HF2 intercrosses. Detailed description of each set, tissue acquisition, RNA extraction and array hybridization methods, and data processing and normalization methods are provided in the “Info” page linked to each dataset. In brief, the datasets are:
