BLASTX was used to compare unisequences against translated ORFs from the genomes of five species of filamentous fungi (Magnaporthe grisea, Gibberella zeae, Ustilago maydis, Emericella nidulans and Neurospora crassa) and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Filamentous conserved unisequences were defined as those that had homologues in the genomes of each of the five species of filamentous fungus but not in the yeast genome (E-value less than or equal to 10^-10). Sets of filamentous conserved unisequences for each species of pathogen can be obtained by selecting the organism below and pressing "Submit".
