Analyses of human CGI proteins and their original C. elegansprotein queries. (a) Protein length. (b) Matched areas of sequence length. (c) Similarity percentage. Analyses were performed for protein length and BLAST results of CGI-1 to CGI-151 (excluding CGI-71, which is almost identical to CGI-8 with three bases inserted). The average length of human CGI genes is 304 amino acids (106∼ 933). C. elegans proteins have an average length of 312 residues (107∼1160). Matched areas from BLAST analysis results averaged 255 residues (85∼692). The average homology percentage is 41% (20%∼71%) and the average similarity percentage is 59% (34%∼87%).
