Background hybridization intensities averaged over three chips for three Burkholderia genomes

	B. pseudomallei K96243	B. mallei ATCC 23344	B. mallei NCTC 10229
Median background intensity (m_B)	3710	3076	3890
Standard deviation of background intensity (σ)	548	463	569
$\log_{2} (\frac{m_{B} + 3 σ}{m_{B}}) \approx R^{L}$	0.53	0.54	0.53
$\log_{2} (\frac{m_{B} + 6 σ}{m_{B}}) \approx R^{U}$	0.92	0.92	0.90
