My file [contig29.fasta] containing my Drosophila biarmipes contig was used in a blastx search of nrp's against D. melanogaster's translated nucleotide database at the National Library of Medicine.
The visual alignment map suggested that one gene [Asator] was present in many isoforms on this particular stretch of the D. biarmipes DNA sequence.
A list of significant findings displayed a few results that may have been significant (Mainly Casein Kinase I and Gilgamesh) but they span the same region as the definite Asator hits.
A useful table -- Primary Asator Hit
Comparisons of the table and the visual alignments reveal that a section [895-944] is insignificant yet it gets flagged by every isoform except one. Further investigation may reveal more information about this specific segment of DNA.
Genscan predicted Asator, Casein Kinase I, and a junk model sequence. Other predicted sequences were followed until they provided junk blastP's.
It appears that this contig only contains the Asator gene and its many isoforms.
