Canonical ankyrin comparison

Nasonia DV ankyrin domain proteins were blasted to different insect species to search for orthologs. Results of these are given here, and show that the wasp proteins are lineage restrictedfile descriptions:Additional File 1. (.xlsx) D.melanogaster and A.mellifera BLASTp hits for each Nasonia novel ankyrin-repeat containing transcript. Each of the 15 novel Nasonia transcripts was entered into a BLASTp query to search for homologous proteins in Drosophila and Apis. The top 100 hits were collected (duplicate sequences were removed) for each Nasonia transcript (individual sheets within workbook). Each row represents a distinct BLASTp hit and contains the hit’s description (column A), BLAST e-value (column B), and NCBI accession number (column C). <br>Additional File 2. (.xlsx) Top D.melanogaster and A.mellifera BLASTp novel ankyrin-repeat hits. All sequences from Additional file 1 were pooled (duplicate sequences removed) and entered as a reciprocal BLASTp query to see if they were strongly homologous to the Nasonia novel ankyrin-repeat containing transcripts. Each row represents a distinct BLASTp hit from Additioanl file 1, and again contains the hit’s description (column A, Yellow highlights Apis sequences. Drosophila sequences are left in white), BLAST e-value (column B), and NCBI accession number (column C) as well as the description of the Nasonia protein it reciprocal BLASTs back to (column E), BLAST e-value (column F), and NCBI accession number (column G). <br>
