| CAGE | Cap analysis of gene expression. |
| CAGE Clone | The clone of CAGE. A clone which has CAGE Tag concatemer. |
| CAGE Library | The library of CAGE. A collection of RNA Libraries which individually constructed by CAGE method. |
| CAGE Tag | The sequence tags of CAGE. CAGE tags are approx. 20bp of 5'-end of the transcripts. |
| CAGE Tissue | The tissue material name of RNA samples which usually based on EMAP or eVOC term name. |
| CTSS | CAGE tag starting site. |
| Gene Symbol | Unique abbreviation for the gene name. |
| Gene Synonym | A synonym of gene symbol. |
| Gene(mRNA) | The basic unit of hereditary information. CAGE mRNA is product of transcription of a gene from RTPS. |
| Linker Method | The method of CAGE Library construction which distinguished from the type of linker primer. |
| Primer Type | The type of primer which used in cDNA construction. |
| RNA Library | A collection of RNA samples. |
| Riken Clone ID | ID of RIKEN full-length cDNA clone. |
| TC | Tag Cluster. CAGE tags, 18nt clustered long-SAGE and 5'-end 20nt of dbtss overlapping region, from 5'-end to 3'-end most. |
| TK | Transcript frameworK. A group of transcripts that map to the same genomic region, are on the same strand, that share some sort of exon structure. Members may have different transcriptional start sites (TSS) and polyadenylation signals (PAS). |
| TSS | Transcription start site. Current use TC as TSS, see also TC. |
| TU | Transcriptional Unit. Current CAGE is using only TU (no-use TK). |
| Theiler Stage | One of a standard set of stages describing mouse development. |
