Synteny conservation between B. malayi BAC-end genome survey sequences and C. elegans genome sequence

Maximal probability of either of blast matches	Number of BACs with both ends matching C. elegans proteins	Number of BACs with both ends matching C. elegans proteins on the same chromosome	Distance between C. elegans proteins (megabases)	Percentage of matches on same chromosome
<e-8	164	90	4.4	54.88
<e-10	138	78	4.6	56.52
<e-15	51	29	4.7	56.86
<e-20	17	10	5.3	58.82

B. malayi BAC end sequences were compared to the C. elegans proteome using BLASTX. Matches with a probability <e-8 were noted, and chromosomal positions determined from WormBase. Of 2,200 BACs with matches, 164 had matches to both ends.
