Note. This table lists the 6 genes with R > 9. The first column is the name of Unigene cluster. The second column is protein corresponding to Unigene cluster, with the classification in bracket. The third column gives the likelihood statistic R. The next four columns show the number of ESTs in each of the four libraries that belong to the Unigene cluster. The total numbers of EST sequences in each of the libraries are 1026, 952, 1995 and 1993.
