  1. Chi-square goodness-of-fit tests showing observed distribution of SSR motif types outside of versus within all ORFs to as compared to the posterior probability distribution. X2 = chi-square statistic; df = degrees of freedom. Significant deviations were observed only with trinucleotide SSRs from EST library sequence; di- and tetranucleotide SSRs from the same library were nearly significant.
