Complete paralogs have higher scores in homology searches than incomplete orthologs. The ACT1 (actin 1) protein from rice was used as a query in a BLASTP search against a set of Fgenesh-predicted proteins from Oryza sativa L. ssp. indica (see text for further details). (a) The top match was the first predicted protein from contig 17097, but this predicted protein is likely to be a paralog of ACT1 as ACT1 also matched to a protein encoded on contig 23050 with a lower score (b), but with a higher degree of similarity in the region that did match (amino acids 1-210). (c) A TBLASTN search revealed that amino acids 211-243 are encoded on contig 23050. (d) The TBLASTN search also revealed that the carboxyl terminus (amino acids 290-377) of ACT1 is encoded on contig 2561.
