Profile searches were conducted using the PSI-BLAST program with either a single sequence or an alignment used as the query, with a profile-inclusion expectation (E) value threshold of 0.01, and were iterated until convergence [ 35, 36].
PSI-BLAST is an iterative form of BLAST in which sequence information from hits found with an initial query sequence is incorporated into a profile that is used in subsequent searches.
Previously known conserved protein domains were detected using the corresponding position-specific scoring matrices (PSSMs) constructed using PSI-BLAST [ 40].
Extensive BLAST and PSI-BLAST searches of the public databases failed to recover any sequences with significant similarity to the Runt domain from non-metazoan organisms with completed or nearly completed genomes, suggesting that Runx genes may be a metazoan invention.
The PSSMs were prepared by choosing one or more starting queries (seeds) for a set of most frequently encountered domains (see reference [ 28] for details) and run against the NR database until convergence with the -C option of PSI-BLAST to save the PSSM.
