Table 1 GC-related terminologies
Terminologies | Definition |
|---|---|
GC content | The percentage of guanine and cytosine nitrogenous bases |
GC content of a sample | The GC content of all unique reads of each chromosome of a sample, which are mapped to the corresponding chromosome of the reference genome |
GC range | The range of GC content of a sample |
Unit value of GC content | A unit value used to increase or decrease the range of GC content of each chromosome of a sample (default = 0.001) |
The GC value of a test sample | The GC content of all unique reads of each chromosome of a test sample |
Reads fraction of a sample | The percentage of all unique reads of each chromosome of a sample, which are mapped to each corresponding chromosome of reference genome |
Unit value of reads fraction | A unit value used to increase or decrease the range of reads fraction of each chromosome of a sample (default = 0.00005) |
The RF value of a test sample | The reads fraction value of all unique reads of each chromosome of a test sample, which was determined by fitting predicted fraction of reads calculated as \( R{f}_{i^{\prime }{j}^{\prime}}^{\hbox{'}} = \upalpha +\upbeta \times G{C}_{i^{\prime }{j}^{\prime }} \) from all reference samples |
