A Comprehensive Bioinformatics Analysis of the Nudix Superfamily in Arabidopsis thaliana

Table 4

The summary of specific duplicated pairs of Nudix genes identified by assessing the segmental duplication events unearthed in the study by Blanc et al. [41]. The size of the proteins, the percentage of sequence identity between the pair of proteins, the segment length (number of genes), the designated family of Nudix genes, and the rough estimation of the age of the duplication event are also presented. “CoAPs” designates coenzyme A pyrophosphatases, and “ AHs” is representative of A hydrolases. In the study by Blanc et al. [41] the estimation of the age of the duplication event was conducted by the estimation of the synonymous substitution rates (Ks) between duplicated genes in sister regions. The duplications that are termed ‘recent’ contain median Ks values from 0.72 to 0.99 whereas those that are termed “old” have median Ks values from 1.82 to 6.03.
