The amino acid sequences of alternative genes and ORFs were submitted to BlastP and results returning e-values < e^-30 were considered. Homology to apicomplexan proteins was prioritized when deciding the protein description to be used to assist the assignment of functional category. Sequences returning no significant BlastP result or with a description 'hypothetical protein' were searched against Amigo Blast [54] to determine the potential GO classification. The same e-value cut-off was applied. The above information was then used in conjunction with InterPro and independent literature searches to assign a MIPS category within the FunCatDB functional catalogue. Note: protein fate includes protein folding, modification and destination.
