  1. a Test compares the observed (obs) numbers of proteins in each functional category for duplicates (dup) versus singletons (sing) with the expected (exp) numbers that are calculated based on the relative frequencies of all proteins in each functional category b Functional classifications of proteins were taken from the Clusters of Orthologous Groups database
