Overall sequence redundancy of the four normalized libraries. For each of the assemblies in The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) Cattle Gene Index, the number of MARC ESTs from the four normalized libraries that fit in each cluster was determined. This is plotted against the total number of clusters containing the same number of MARC ESTs. The majority (73%) of clusters contain one, two, or three MARC ESTs per cluster, indicating that overall sequence redundancy of the four libraries is low.
