Genes were classified according to their role in particular stages of cartilage maturation. Their Log2 intensity expression values are shown on the right, with high expression values (red), mid values (orange) and low values (blue). Expression values below 4 are considered as background (white). Most expressed genes belong to the proliferative group, suggesting that primary chondrocytes were mainly in a proliferative state.
