[i] The number of singletons derived from this PHRED/Consed analysis is not equal to the number of singletons derived from BLASTN analysis.

[ii] Where multiple contigs represent a single locus. Contigs representing genes known to be expressed in testis were sampled.

[iii] Where a single contig maps to two different locations. Contigs composed of three ESTs were sampled.
