Blatting ESTs-Genome yields 122,531 matches(172,549,481).  Removing
matches spanning >3,000 bp of the clone leaves 118,340.  For each of
these, 100bp were added to both sides of the match.  The total length
of the ranges is 85,648,342.  Merging the overlapping regions results
in 28,584 regions, covering 27,062,946 bp of the geonome.

There are 31,208 ORFs, predicted by Fgenesh from the 193,094,016 bp of
the sequenced genome. These ORFs span 78,960,149 nucleotides.

Combining the ORF and EST ranges results in 42,236 regions that have a
combined length of 91,729,234 bp.  So 14,293,861 bp of the merged ESTs
overlap the Fgenesh orfs.
