Horizontally transferred genes in plant-parasitic nematodes: a high-throughput genomic approach

Table 1 Efficiency of each step of screening Meloidogyne datasets for HGT candidates

Clustered ESTs (W) were from the Parasitic Nematode Sequencing Project at Washington University. Raw ESTs (N) were extracted from NCBI's GenBank. Mi, Meloidogyne incognita; Mj, M. javanica; Mh, M. hapla. 'Original number' gives the size of the initial dataset. For both screens, matches were declared when e-values were less than 1.0e^-10. The percentage of the original number of sequences remaining after each screen is listed in parentheses. 'Final candidates' reflects total number of candidates after removal of redundancy.
