Table 3 Annotation and Gene Ontology characteristics of 11 honey bee EST contigs sharing significant similarity with mammalian but not with other vertebrate or invertebrate sequences. In all cases, the best match was with human proteins. For these 11 out of 23 contigs we could retrieve functional information.
