Table 1 Number of reporters placed in the genomic annotation groups of the maize Agilent-016047 microarray

Annotation groups	Number of reporters^a	Reporters with Signal/Noise > 3 (maize leaves)^b	Proportion of reporters with Signal/Noise > 3^c
sense gene model	23668 (56.3%)	20752	88%
antisense gene model	4330 (10.3%)	2470	57%
gDNA	1549 (3.7%)	985	64%
EST	3390 (8.1%)	1920	60%
ambiguous	2608 (6.2%)	2208	84%
inconclusive	6489 (15.4%)	4038	61%
Total	42034 (100%)	32373	77%

^a The number and percentage of reporters in each annotation group.
^b Hybridization to fifty Agilent-016047 arrays by maize leaf cDNA from a segregating population
^c Percentage calculated from the number of reporters with signal/noise > 3 in maize leaves divided by the total number of reporters in each annotation group.
