Following electrophoresis, the peak data areas from six samples (1–6) were imported into Excel from the Bioanalyzer software (Section A).
By dividing the area under each exon (specific peak is divided by the sum of the area of the control peaks), a ratio for each exon was obtained (Section B).
These ratios are were then normalised to 1.0 based on the mean ratio of samples known to be unaffected at that specific locus (Section C).
The normalised ratios of the exons that are duplicated are shown in bold, those of the deleted exons are in italics.
