This panel displays the effect that an increasing number of base mismatches has on the ability of the primer set or probe in question to describe a particular group of sequence records.  The blue line plots the percentage of records within that group that is targeted by the primer set or probe, as the number of base-mismatches allowed increases.  The red line, in contrast, plots the percentage of records outside of that group that match with the primer set or probe.  Thus, at a glance the user is able to see how effective the primer set or probe is in describing that group relative to all other records within the database.  The plot for a particular group is displayed by the user clicking on that group with the mouse.

 
Right-mouse-clicking on the graph displays the associated context menu, allowing the user to copy the data to another application such as a spreadsheet, or print the graph.
