  1. Unique sequences, from the sequences with the 20 longest ORFs that have "hits" to the Apis genome at least 4'375 bases away from predicted Apis protein coding regions, with highly significant "best-hits" (BLASTX, 1e-20) to an insect protein. These "best-hit" insect proteins were "blasted" against the Apis genome (TBLASTN) and the resulting alignments scanned for potential elements hindering protein production.
