Figure 1

BLAST results showing percent homology. Shown is the percent identity between the porcine nutrient sensor and taste receptor gene (Tasr) mRNA sequences from the pig genome refseq database (Sus scrofa 10.2) blasted to the human () and mouse (▲) genomes. In total there were 28 nutrient sensor and Tasr mRNA sequences identified in the pig genome as being orthologous to respective taste receptor genes in human and mouse. Included are 3 Tas1rs, 15 Tas2rs, 5 fat/fatty acid genes, 3 amino acid genes, 1 calcium receptor gene and 1 peptone receptor gene. For those genes that had more than one blast hit (see Additional file 1), with different homology percentages, this can be seen as more than one /▲ on the graph corresponding to that gene. In the case where the hits had the same homology percentage, the symbols overlap.
