x-axis, bits/aligned position; y-axis, cumulative fraction of HSPs having that number of bits/aligned amino acid pair or less. To facilitate display, only a subset of the 21 possible pair-wise combinations is shown. Data are based upon all reciprocal best BLASTP hits identified in all versus all BLASTP searches of the proteomes. Similarity calculations were restricted to the high-scoring HSP for each BLAST hit, in order to avoid data duplication due to overlapping alignments.
There were 13,339 M. musculus–H. sapiens reciprocal best hits; 6,435 between D. melanogaster and A. gambiae; 5,828 between C. intestinalis and H. sapiens; 5,542 between D. melanogaster and H. sapiens; 4,669 between C. elegans and H. sapiens; 4,588 between C. elegans and D. melanogaster; 3,361 between H. sapiens and A. thaliana; and 2,835 between C. elegans and A. thaliana.
