a
Genes were divided into two classes: those without Pfam motifs or informative BLASTP matches (Ranks 1 and 2) and those with informative motifs or matches but uncertain functions (Ranks 3 and 4).
b
TBLASTN searches were performed against the EST database at NCBI (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). The top significant match (<e−30) is listed.
c
BLASTP searches were performed against the nonredundant database at NCBI (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Top significant matches (<e−30) were identified from an initial list of model organisms that also included D. melanogaster, C. elegans, D. discoideum, S. cerevisiae, S. pombe, and E. coli. Dash indicates no significant match.
