Table 1 Summary and analysis of EST database search results. Search results from all eight databases are summarized, including database size and number of ESTs showing significant similarity to each MST subfamily on BLASTX search for each taxon. For the five large databases (>100,000 ESTs), the percentage of subfamily ESTs as a proportion of total MST ESTs, the percentage of MST ESTs as a proportion of total ESTS, and the number of expressed loci is shown.
Taxon | ESTdb size | ESTs with significant homology to the MST subfamily % subfamily ESTs as a proportion of total MST ESTs Number of expressed subfamily gene loci in EST database | Total MST ESTs % MST ESTs Expressed loci | ||||||
