Proportion of proteins, predicted from complete bacterial genomes, which share highest similarity to eukaryotic proteins (according to analysis with default stringency settings; seehttp://www.pathogenomics.bc.ca/BAE-watch.html). Results for those organisms with a higher proportion than expected are circled. Similar results are obtained when different stringency cutoffs are used (see Supplementary Material available online http://www.genome.org).
