Elucidating the Evolutionary Relationships among Bos taurus Digestive Organs Using Unigene Expression Data

Table 3

Pairwise comparison of similarity among Homo sapiens and Mus musculus digestive and control body sites using the Jaccard index of similarity. Values closer to 1.0 denote a higher similarity in expressed genes between two body sites.
