Figure 1

Venn diagram representing clones present in oocytes of one, two or all three species. Clones are considered as present when their signal intensities are above threshold in every replicates (16/16), they are considered as ambiguous when their signal intensities are above threshold in 8 to 15 replicates, and finally are considered absent when their signal intensities are above threshold in less than 7 replicates. A) All the clones on the microarray slides are considered, B) only the clones preferentially expressed in the oocyte are considered. For the clones present in all three species, the number of clones derived from each oocyte library is given in table 1.
