These are the orthologues in the Liliopsida:
- 20 1-to-1
- Seven 1-to-many
- Two many-to-many
The percentage of identical amino acids in the sorghum protein (the orthologue) compared with the gene of interest. i.e. maize Zm00001d015746 (the target species/gene) is 82.07%. This is known as the Target %ID. The identity of the gene of interest (maize GRMZM2G144081) when compared with the orthologue (the sorghum gene, the query species/gene) is 81.69% (the query %ID).
Note the differences in the values of the Target and Query % ID reflects the different protein lengths for the genes.
