Gene Expression Analysis with Universal n-mer Arrays

Table 2.

Fraction of Genes That Can be Trivially Solved and Inherent Redundancy for Several Useful Array Sizes (Assuming Single Mismatches)

Organism n Truncation Fraction with minimum degeneracy of 1 Fraction trivial (predicted) Fraction trivial (actual) Inherent redundancy
