  1. The percent of the proteome corresponding to proteins bearing putative prion-domain (column 3) is shown for a representative group of model organisms (column 1), from different evolutionary classifications, some of which have been extensively studied and whose complete genomes have been well characterized. The organisms included correspond to different species of (1) bacteria, (2) protozoans, (3) yeast, (4) plants, (5) dipterans, (6) nematode and (7) human. The number of predictions obtained for each organism is shown in column 2.
