  • Specific probes: 19875 (92 %).
    • Buchnera aphidicola 609 35 BF2I
  • 2 probes per gene (3 for transport and amino-acids metabolism genes).
  • Identical genes: 2.
  • Tm range : 11 °C.
  • Specific probes: 1272 (98 %).
  • Run 1: 1087 (86 %) optimal probes.
  • Run 2: 166 (13 %) supplementary probes.
  • Run 3: 17 (1 %) last probes.

    • NOTE:
  • Identical genes: any pairs of genes showing more than 98 % identity on more than 100 bases (or 95 % for EST sequences).
  • Specific probes: probes with no significant cross-hybridization.
  • Probes after run 2 and 3: probes with putative secondary structures (more and more stable).
