  1. ^ Transcript sequences are required to have >95% identity and >80% coverage to be considered as mapped.
  2. # Lotus data are based on the ESTs aligned to finished TACs (phase 3).
  3. * A total of 48,691 (32.3% of 150,855) transcript sequences can be mapped to Lj TACs in all phases, including phase 1, phase 2 and phase 3.
