Numbers shown are percentage of identity.
a
Pairwise percentages of sequence identities were determined from BLAT alignments. The number of bases found to be identical in both species was divided by the total number of bases for the promoter sequence.
b
The percentages of sequence identities for all nine species were determined from EvoPrint alignments. The number of bases found to be identical in all nine species was divided by the total number of bases in the promoter sequence.
c
Publicly available sequence data for the D. simulans m2 promoter are incomplete and thus D. simulans comparisons are not included.
