Additional file 2:

Refined insect-specific proteins. The refined 51 insect-specific proteins are listed in the table with Ka/Ks, Interpro annotations, GO terms, mutant phenotypes, and homologs with other insects. GO terms were downloaded from the Gene Ontology Consortium. Mutant phenotypes were downloaded from FlyBase. Proteins with significant mutant phenotypes are highlighted in red.
