Total ESTs = number of produced chromatograms; Discarded ESTs = number of low quality ESTs; Analyzed ESTs = number of sequences processed for clustering; # GenBank = accession numbers of ESTs deposited in GenBank; # EST in cluster = number of sequences in cluster; # clusters = total number of clusters; # singletons = number of putative transcripts identified by one EST; # consensus = number of non-redundant sequences; % redundancy = percentage of sequences not identified in an exclusive manner; % discovery = percentage of ESTs identifying putative new transcripts in the total EST analyzed.
