At least one third of the singletons in our gene index contain intact ORFs, and are predominantly histones, G-protein receptors, olfactory receptors, and cytokines or their homologs/paralogs.
Consistent with the latter conclusion, Npu TrpD_1 exhibits greater identity with its ortholog Asp TrpD_1 than with its paralogs Npu TrpD_2 and Npu TrpD_3.
