a
Numbers of probes with normalized intensity of >0.5 are shown.
b
Fifteen Streptococcus species genomes were hybridized onto a microarray.
c
Each column represents one of the four microarrays: constructed from equal representation of five Streptococcus species, only from S. pneumoniae, only from S. pyogenes, or from an unequal representation of all five species.
