The total numbers of bidirectional transcript pairs in each category were counted. The numbers of pairs detected by using a microarray are shown under 'Expression analysis using microarray'; in this column, 'Total' is the number of pairs put on the microarray, 'High' is the number of pairs in which both transcripts of the pairs were expressed at high intensity, 'Low' is the number of pairs in which the transcript of at least one member of the pair was expressed at low intensity, and 'NC' is the number of pairs in which neither transcript was expressed. The numbers of pairs in which sequences showed homology to at least one EST sequence are shown under 'EST support'. 'Both' indicates the number of pairs in which both sense-antisense strands showed homology to at least one EST sequence. 'Either' is the number of pairs in which either a sense or an antisense strand of the pairs showed homology to at least one EST sequence. 'CDS' is the number of pairs with coding potential. Here, 'Both' means that both sense-antisense strands of the pairs had coding potential, and 'Either' means that either the sense or the antisense strand of the pairs had coding potential. The numbers of pairs in which both sense and antisense transcripts were expressed in at least one identical library are listed under 'Expressed in the same library'.
