About Earl
• Earl is a 375-bp hypothetical protein that has only been claimed by JGI.
• Earl decided to do an NCBI blastx search to determine his origins.
• This only made him more confused.
About Earl• The top hit for Earl’s left side was FtsZ2,
and the top hit for his right side was CopG.• After performing blastn and refining his
endpoints several times, Earl found out that he shared high similarity with FtsZ2 in bps ranging from 79962..81193 (62% GC Content).
• Earl had high similarity with CopG in bps ranging from 80708..80896 (61% GC Content)
