- Let A be the set of transcripts a probe(set) on platform A targets
- Let B be the set of transcripts a probe(set) on platform B targets
- Equal A = B : Number of genes in which platform A and B target equal transcript sets.
- Disjoint A ⋂ B = Ø: Number of genes in which platform A and B target disjoint transcript sets.
- A\B ≠Ø: Platform A and B target the same gene, but platform A targets extra transcripts that B does not.
- B\A ≠Ø: Platform A and B target the same gene, but platform B targets extra transcripts that A does not.
- Note: The total number of classified genes can exceed the number of common genes because a gene may be a member of both A\B = Ø and B\A = Ø.
