Comparison of Trypanosoma cruzi ESTs to Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Kinetoplastid Organisms
| Organism | No. of unique ESTs |
| S. cerevisiae | 448 (14.7%) |
| C. elegans | 450 (14.7%) |
| yeast + worm[i] | 365 (12%) |
| yeast-restricted | 83 (2.7%) |
| worm-restricted | 85 (2.8%) |
| Kinetoplastid-restricted[ii] | 592 (19.4%) |
| T. cruzi | 355 (11.6%) |
| other than T. cruzi | 237 (7.8%) |
[i] Number of unique EST sequences with matches to both yeast and worm. Cutoff value used for the comparison = P ≤ 10−4
[ii] Number of unique EST sequences with matches to kinetoplastid-restricted genes. Cutoff value used for the comparison = P ≤ 10−4 Detailed results are available at http://www.genpat.uu.se/tryp/tryp.html.
