Supplementary Material

Supplementary Data: Comparison of expressed sequence tags generated from gill cDNA libraries.

  • Redundancy = 1-(No. of TUGs/EST analyzed) X 100%

  • RefSeq RNA hits = number of TUGs without any hits in the UniProt database that have hits in RefSeq mRNA database

  • E2D for “no hit” TUGs = number of TUGs without any hits in the public database that were annotated by E2D
