↵Class definitions according to Hattori et al. (2000). Briefly: (1.1) genes with 100% identity and known function; (1.2) genes with 100% identity but unknown function; (2.1) genes with similarity to known genes with assigned function; (2.2) genes with similarity to known genes without assigned function; (3.1) genes with similarity to a characterized functional motif; (3.2) genes with similarity to defined region of a known protein without functional association; (4.1) genes predicted based on spliced EST matches and ab initio predicted exons; (4.2) genes predicted on splice EST matches; (4.3) genes predicted on ab initio predicted exons.
