aThe numbers were obtained from the results of an homology search against ESTs in the January 13, 2001 release of the GenBank database in which B(b)ovine, Bos taurus, B.taurus or cattle are contained in the entry name.
bThe homology search was performed against human ESTs in the January 13, 2001 release of the GenBank database.
cThe homology search was performed against mouse ESTs in the January 13, 2001 release of the GenBank database.
