Summary of BLASTX results.

	Placenta		Testis
	(EST input = 904)		(EST input = 2002)
	mouse	rat	mouse	rat
Total hits*	882	884	1935	1947
Non-redundant hits†	781	775	1596	1610

EST contig sequences were BLASTed against mouse (Mus) and rat (Rattus) Refseq database using BLASTX. Only matches with e-values of ≤ 10 were considered significant.

*The homolog hit with lowest e-value was selected (when multiple hits existed).

^†Redundant homolog records were removed when more than one EST hit with the same homolog.
