Summary of annotated Bandicoot ESTs. Table of bandicoot ESTs that match genes of known and unknown function in the public databases. Categories were assigned according to putative biological function using Gene Ontogeny and the Human Protein Reference Database [52,53]. The closest protein match to each EST according to BLASTx is indicated.

Summary of integrated High Quality Non Coding (iHQNC) and inconsistent HQNC ESTs. Table of unmatched bandicoot ESTs that aligned to the opossum or human genomes or both. ESTs that aligned to the opossum or human genome, or both and were more than 5 kb from an annotated gene were labeled iHQNC ESTs. Those ESTs that aligned to both the human and opossum genomes, but were more than 5 kb from an annotated gene in only one species were labeled inconsistent HQNC ESTs.
