[i] Linking results for cDNA clones derived from all ESTs aligning with entries in the two large test sets. For all columns except the last, values are the percentage of cDNA clones contributing ESTs to the specified stringency class for which the indicated linking result was obtained. Column headings are as follows: (Det. both) ESTs from both ends of the clone fall into the specified stringency class; (Missed 5‘) the ESTs from both ends of the clone are present in dbEST, but only the 3‘ EST falls into the specified stringency class; (Missed 3‘) the ESTs from both ends of the clone are present in dbEST, but only the 5‘ EST falls into the specified stringency class; (No 5‘) the 5‘ EST from the clone is not present in dbEST; (No 3‘) the 3‘ EST from the clone is not present in dbEST; (Pol. unk.) it was not possible to determine the polarity of ESTs from the clone; (Efficacy) the percentage of clones having ESTs from both ends in dbEST for which both ends were detected in the given stringency class.
