Table 2 Distribution of genes with expression levels <50 and >50–10,000 as detected by Illumina bead array in 8 hESC populations All human ESC samples were hybridized in one experiment and the relative detection levels of genes were binned to obtain a global overview of transcription, approximately 8, 000 genes (~50%) were greater than 100 arbitrary units. The numbers are similar to results obtained by other large scale analysis such as MPSS.
