Homology of A. mexicanum contigs to protein and nucleotide sequences from other species. (a) Distribution of E-values from the first identified hit in the protein non-redundant database that was used to assign a putative identity to the contig. The majority of contigs identified a protein with an E-value between 1e-20 and 1e-99. In 11% of the cases, the E-value of the first hit was below 1e-100 and can therefore be considered a true ortholog. (b) Distribution of hits in the different sequence databases that were searched sequentially.
