Table 2.
Characteristics of the two groups of BAC end sequences (BESs)
| EcoRI BESs | BamHI BESs | Total | |
| Number of sequences | 61696 | 33208 | 94904 |
| Average read length (bp) | 571.6 | 598.1 | 580.9 |
| Minimum read length (bp) | 50 | 50 | 50 |
| Maximum read length (bp) | 955 | 920 | 955 |
| Total bases (bp) | 35266874 | 19860186 | 55127060 |
| GC content (%) | 37.45 | 40.30 | 38.47 |
| Clones | 34240 | 18251 | 52491 |
| Paired-end clones | 27456 | 14957 | 42413 |
| Percentage of paired-end clones (%) | 80.2 | 82.0 | 80.8 |
A paired-end clone is a clone that contains both end sequences. The percentage of paired-end clones is the ratio of the number of paired-end clones to the total number of clones.
