Additional filesAdditional file 1: Composition of the cotton oligonucleotide microarray. 22,789 oligonucleotides were designed from three separate sets of genic sequences from cotton (See Table 1). The grey boxes represent the total number of probes in each set. The hatched boxes indicate the number of probes with a putative Arabidopsis hit. The black boxes indicate the number of probes designed from singletons from their respective assemblies. The remaining boxes with dotted squares indicate the number of probes targeting transcription factors. Format: PDF Size: 13KB Download file This file can be viewed with: Adobe Acrobat Reader Additional file 2: Distribution of the number of matches of oligonucleotide probes to the Cotton Gene Index 8 (CGI8) assembly. All three sets were queried within the sequences of the CGI8 assembly and only a small number (1,773) of probes target (>93% percent identity) more than one CGI8 unigene indicating a potential cross-hybridization or an 'over-split' assembly for the targeted gene.

Library totals reflect the contigs (respective library's ESTs > 90%) and singletons used to design the oligonucleotides. The two large G. raimondii libraries created from heterogeneous seedling and whole flower tissue are not illustrated.
