  1. a The threshold maximum E-value was set to 1e-05. b Total number of contigs with significant E-value. c Number of contigs having the lowest E-value for each specified BLAST field. When the lowest and second lowest E-values were the same for a particular contig it counted as 0.5 for each of the hit fields. d Number of contigs having significant BLAST hits exclusively for one of the fields. Some BLAST fields were combined to give the counts in Figure 2: 1 Dmel, 2 Bmori, 3 InvLep, 4 protein databases, 5 non-nuclear genes (as explained in the Methods). All collections used in our BLAST analysis were downloaded from public databases (see Methods) in June-August of 2005 (except for the organellar nucleotidic and the E. coli whole-genome sequences, both obtained in April 2004).
