Conservation values (C-values) were expressed as a frequency between 0 and 1. The colors indicate: very highly conserved (0.85 ≤ C-value ≤ 1.0); highly conserved (0.7 ≤ C-value ≤ 0.84); moderately conserved (0.4 ≤ C-value ≤ 0.69); poorly conserved (C-value ≤ 0.39); no hits. Positive and cover values below 50% were not included.
