Table 4 Results of BLAST comparisons of cowpea GSRs against various legume EST-derived unigenes.

Species	Number of Unigenes	Number of Matches with Cowpea GSRs^a	Percent Match
Glycine max	63,669	46,858	73.60
Glycine soja	9,062	7,193	79.38
Medicago truncatula	35,969	24,703	68.68
Lotus japonicus	28,456	17,247	60.61
Phaseolus coccineus	7,666	5,858	76.42
Phaseolus vulgaris	9,474	8,394	88.60
Vigna unguiculata	16,954	12,501	73.70
All legume unigenes at LIS	167,046	117,585	70.39
Mean			74.43

^aComparisons between cowpea GSRs and EST-derived unigenes were performed as describe in the Materials and Methods using tblastx, with the exception of comparison to the the cowpea EST-derived unigenes where blastn was employed.
