genes	a list of pattern matches to the egnes you want to remove

Mitocondrial genes are expressed not from the diploid genome, but from multiple copies of the mitochondrial genome. A similar problem arises with the ribosomal genes which are expressed from multiple locis in the diploig genome and therfore also spike at much higher levels than the diploid genes.
