UniGene identification through BLAST analyses toselected genomic collections. a) Venn diagram summarizing gene identification based on BLAST against the genomic collections phylogenetically most relevant for B. anynana: "Dmel" for D. melanogaster, "Bmori" for the silkworm B. mori, and "InvLep" for lepidopteran nucleotide sequences and invertebrate proteins (see Methods and Table 3). About 42% of our 4,251 UniGenes did not have a significant BLAST hit for any of these three categories. b) Of the 1,804 genes not included in the Venn diagram, 14 showed a significant BLAST hit to at least one of the additional collections analyzed (details in Table 3 and in the text). The numbers on the left panel represent BLAST hits to groups of these collections (with some overlap across the collections).
