Figure 1From: A general framework for optimization of probes for gene expression microarray and its application to the fungus Podospora anserinaProbe classes according to their position relative to an intron. The black arrow represents the coding strand of a gene. Probes are identical to the coding strand. Nucleotide numbering begins at the first nucleotide of the contig, on the coding strand of the gene of interest; x represents the numbering of the last nucleotide of the exon preceding the 5' end of the intron, and y represents the numbering of the first nucleotide following the 3' end. Probe classes are indicated by the colored boxes.Back to article page
