Figure 1.

The proportion of similarity of Acropora digitifera gene models to those of other metazoans (see text for the method). (A) The 93% (22,027) of the 23,668 gene models have similarity to other metazoans, while 1% of them for non-metazoans and 6% show no similarity to proteins deposited in NCBI database (NR). (B) Of the 22,027 metazoan-similarity genes, 64% had counterparts in both Nematostella and Hydra genomes, 20% of them for Nematostella but not in Hydra, 3% for Hydra but not in Nematostella, and 2% for other metazoans but not in Nematostella and Hydra. Eleven percent of them have corresponding ESTs of corals reported in NCBI.
