BioMed Central | Full text | Signature proteins that are distinctive of alpha proteobacteria (6571 words) |
 | The comparative analyses of genomes provides a valuable resource and a very powerful means for identifying characteristics that are unique to a particular group of species [6,16,27,28,32,35,36]. |
| For example the protein CC1652 is absent in the Sphingomonadales while the protein CC1035 is absent in the Rhodospirillales. |
| Note that the protein CC2247 exhibits high E values for BLAST hits representing Brucellaceae and Bartonellaceae but this high E value is acceptable due to the very short length of this protein (46 amino acids) and the fact that besides α-proteobacteria no other BLAST hits were observed (Table 3B). |
