The number of reads is tabulated for both samples (Tame, Aggressive), both individually and all together, with the total number of bases for each set that passed filtering criteria and were used for mapping against the canine RefSeq database, together with analytic results of the corresponding fox transcriptome assemblies. Isogroups: an isogroup is a collection of contigs containing reads with implied connections between them, analogous to individual genes; Isotigs: an isotig is meant to be analogous to an individual transcript or splice variant; Contigs: a contig represents the consensus sequence of a self-consistent set of overlapping reads, roughly analogous to exons; Singletons: reads that did not overlap with any other reads in the input; Repeats: reads that were either inferred to be repetitive early in the assembly process or determined to partially overlap a contig; Outliers: reads that were identified by the GS De Novo Assembler as problematic, and were excluded from the final contigs; Too Short: the trimmed read was too short (< 50bp) to used in the computation.
