Figure 2

Distribution of BLAST score for NCLDV ORFs with eukaryotic affinities. Upper panels: The axes represent the best BLASTP score against the host genome (horizontal) and against a non-redundant (NR) database purged from the closely related sequences of the host. The black lines correspond to equal scores along both axes. Lower panels: The axes represent the ratio: BLAST score against the host divided by the BLAST score against a NR database (vertical) plotted as the genome position of the corresponding ORF. The black lines correspond to the ratio equal to 1. A) Fowlpox BLAST score (best hit in the Bird sequence database against a NR database purged of vertebrate sequences). B) Amsacta moorei Poxvirus BLAST score (best hit in the Insect sequence database against a NR database purged of insect sequences). C) Lumpyskin disease Poxvirus (best hit in the Bos Taurus sequence database against a NR database purged of vertebrate sequences). D) Trichoplusia ni Ascovirus (Iridovirus) (best hit in Insect sequence database against a NR database purged of insect sequences). E) Frog Iridovirus (best hit in the Xenopus laevis sequence database against a NR database purged of vertebrate sequences). F) PBCV1 Chlorella phycodnavirus (best hit in the green alga and plant sequence database against a NR database purged of green alga and plant sequences).
