ANI¹: Data were obtained from A. nidulans genome database [23]
AFU²: Data were obtained from A. fumigatus genome database [24]
SC³: Data were obtained from S. cerevisiae genome database [25]
AO⁴: Data were obtained from A. oryzae genome database [21]. Notably, total predicted genes were achieved from both database [21] and our EST sequence analysis.
