Identification of Expressed Sequence Tags That Align with C. neoformans MIOX Gene Sequences.

Protein	Expressed sequence Tags (EST)	Nucleotide Match	% identity
MIOX3	None identified
MIOX2	d4e08j2.r1	-184–37, 86–264, 322–498	98
	a9e06cn.r1	664–846, 900–1107	96
MIOX1	b9fo8h9.r1	-87–229, 280–455	95
	a7e05cn.r1	540–764, 823–947, 1007–1058	93

Two ESTs were identified in the TIGR database for both MIOX1 and MIOX2 with at least 93% identity. No ESTs were found for MIOX3 with an identity above 65%.
