  • A summary of cDNA libraries and EST assembly of Octopus eye.

  • a The number of ESTs sequenced from cDNA library A (whole eye).

  • b The number of ESTs sequenced from both cDNA library A (whole eye) and cDNA library B (eyeball without lens).

  • c Total number of clones that have been sequenced and reported in this paper.

  • d The number of clones obtained after vector-sequence elimination and quality check.

  • e The number of nonredundant sequences.

  • f The function “known” represents those sequences that match to some proteins in the nonredundant protein database.

  • g The function “unknown” represents those sequences that do not match to any protein in the nonredundant protein database.

  • h Indicates the genes that were used in the analysis of the functional categorization.

  • i Indicates the genes that were used in all analyses in this study except for the functional categorization.
