Table 1. Distribution of oligonucleotide sequences across the C. elegans genome.
Potential probe sequences were identified as described in Materials and methods. Every fifth oligo sequence was incorporated into the library to ensure even distribution. The average distance between selected probes for each chromosome, and the standard deviations of these distances, are indicated. Kb, kilobase. bp, base pair.
