These proteins are the best hits found by probabilistic inference search based on Hidden Markov Models built upon multiple protein alignments of the core clock proteins of plants (A. thaliana), prokaryotes (S. elongatus) and fungi (N. crassa). Common C. elegans names are enclosed between parenthesis when available.
