Figure 2. Details of the BLAST analysis that allowed the detection of ERG orthologs in C. elegans and D. melanogaster.

The comparisons were performed in the directions indicated by the arrows (i.e. Yeast→Human represents a BLASTp search with an ERG protein from yeast in the division Homo sapiens of Genbank). Low Scores S and high E-values (>10⁻⁶) are classically considered as non-significant (unrelated or divergent sequences). The small tables display the S and E-values for the comparisons using the species-specific divisions of Genbank.
