Sequences from known-, novel- and pseudo-gene predictions, from Ensembl realise 66, were collected for the following species: Petromyzon marinus, Latimeria chalumnae, Danio rerio, Gasterosteus aculeatus, Oryzias latipes, Takifugu rubripes, Tetraodon nigroviridis and Homo sapiens. A. naccarii transcriptome sequences were searched against each database. For each sequence, the best hit was annotated.
