A results list will then be displayed as below (note that the whole list is not shown). We are
now going to take the protein sequences of one of these genes and search for similar protein
sequences in the genomes of P. falciparum, P. berghei and P. chabaudi using Omniblast.
This uses the wublastp algorithm. The example below will take you through this process for
one protein, but if you have time try one or two others. To start with use the sequence of a
protein from T. annulata (TA02485) as this as been annotated as a hexose transporter
homologue (HT1 homologue) which is the name of the gene in P. falciparum as it appears
in the literature, and so it is likely that it is an orthologue of the protein in P. falciparum.
