  1. C. elegans proteome and SUMO targets from C. elegans were compared to whole proteomes and to orthologues of C. elegans proteins in other species. Only strict homologues with BLASTP e-value smaller than 1 × 10−10 and over 80% of residues in both sequences included in the BLASTP alignment, were included in the comparison.
