Identification of the orthologous gene pairs between Asia II 3 & MEAM1 and between Asia II 3 & MED. With Megablast, homologous genes were identified using the bidirectional best-hit method. Putatively orthologous gene pairs were further filtered by Blastx against all known proteins in Swissprot database using a threshold of 1×10^-5. Coding sequences (CDS) of the orthologous genes were determined based on the annotation of Swissprot Blast hits. After removing the untranslated regions (UTRs), CDS with unexpected codons or shorter than 150 bp were removed. The numbers of gene pairs obtained in each step are shown in the boxes.
