  1. 1Classification of 1076 EST clones based on their characterization study. Sequenced: a clone was sequenced and filed in this study; Identified: a clone matches a sequence at the amino acid level in the public database of Fasta3; Annotated: a clone is similar in sequence to a protein or DNA whose annotation is available in the database; Non-redundant: an annotated clone that appeared only once in EST library; Redundant: an annotated clone that appeared more than one time in the EST library; Novel: a clone that was isolated and reported for the first time in spiders in this study; Full length: a clone contains deduced complete protein coding regions; No match: a clone that shares no significant sequence homology with any sequences in the Fasta3 database.
