[i] See Table 1 for descriptions of databases and query sets.

[ii] Homologs detected at the indicated cutoffs in either NF or HMEST.

[iii] Homologs detected at the indicated cutoffs in any of SC, NF, or HMEST.

[iv] (N.A.) not applicable (S. cerevisiae queries were not compared with S. cerevisiae databases).

[v] A discontig was counted as having a detectable homolog at a given cutoff if any of the component contigs did.
