Decisions made in the analysis
1) 5 kb cutoff in PCR size used (few are over 2kb).
2) 50 bp overlap between a PCR product and gene counts as a match.
4) Where the PCR product matches in the gene is taken into account.
4) Repetitive sequence filtering is not done.
5) Some genes amplify multiple pcr products. Additional PCR products are included up to 1.5 times the size of the smallest predicted product.
