Homologs of the LIMK1 gene
Pan trolodytes (Chimpanzee) LIMK1 NC_006474.3 E value: 0.0 Canis lupus familiaris (Domestic dog) LIMK1 NC_006588.3 E value: 5e-162 Mus musculus (Mouse) Limk1 NC_000071.5 E value: 2e-79 Gallus gallus (Pheasant) LIMK1 NC_006106.3 E value: 3e-47 |
Danio rerio (Zebrafish) limk1 NC_007126.5 E value: 2e-35 Drosophilia melanogaster (Fruit fly) LIMK1 NC_004354.3 E value: 5e-11 Anopheles gambiae (Mosquito) LIMK1 NT_078267.5 E value: 8e-12 |
Analysis
I used Homologene and BLAST to find the homologs of the LIMK1 gene, including their accession and E values. The gene had too long of a sequence to make a phylogenetic tree, but you can see the tree of the LIMK1 protein here. The E-values indicate the similarity to the human gene, with the chimpanzee being the most similar, and the fruit fly being the least.
