The contig (Gmm-) or clone identifier (Tse) is given for each gene. A 'q' following the clone identifier indicates sequencing was from the 39 end of the clone. The tables include the lowest BLASX E value (most significant similarity) together with putative function based on this homology. dm, Drosophila melanogaster; cb, Chrysomya bezziana; sp, Sarcophaga peregrina; ds, Drosophila simulans; tm, Tenebrio molitor; ti, Triatoma infestans; bm, Bombyx mori; ce, Caenorhabditis elegans; ag, Anopheles gambiae; gm, G. m. morsitans. *All genes with an Anopheles gambiae homolog at 1e-08 or less.
