*“a” is the first letter of “assembly,” indicating the sequence is generated from assembly using Phrap.
“m” is that of “manual,” indicating the sequence is generated from manually removing the redundancies.
**This column lists simple sum of the 4 libraries.
§ and §§ The nonredundant Unigene in the row marked “§” are nonredundant within a library but maybe redundant across libraries, while those marked “§§” are nonredundant across libraries.
