  • The results from the aggregate collection are presented in row 1, and the results from the four major providers of human libraries are listed separately. fNS is the fraction of the discrepancies between the cDNA and the genomic sequence that are nonsynonymous at the amino acid level. The libraries are listed in the Supplemental Material (#3).
