Correlation of Brucella Suis 1330 and Brucella melitensis 16 M was computed by a ratio of signal intensity divided by counts of 9-mer probe occurrences in the respective genomes. Normalized signal intensity for each of the 262,144 9-mer probes represented on the array were divided by the corresponding counts of 9-mer probe occurrences in the respective genome sequences for both B. suisand B. melitensis. The resulting values for a set of 32,000 probes were then plotted, with B. melitensisand B. suis(signal intensity/counts) on the ordinate and abscissa, respectively. Pearson's correlation coefficient was subsequently calculated (ρ = 0.93 as shown).
