Table 1. Incorporation of increased SELEX cycle number improves peak discrimination.

Number of cycles useda	Total peaks calledb	Number of “Best” peaksc	Percent “Best” peaks of total
3	2,628	457	17.4
2	4,255	1,350	31.7
1	7,274	7,274	100

^a“Number of cycles used” does not include control.

^b“Total peaks called” refers to peaks called using TFAST's algorithm.

^c“Best” peaks are peaks with the highest weight scores for that set, as calculated by TFAST.
