Comparison of the number of genes and proteins identified using different 454 based sequencing technologies (GS20, GSFLX and GSFLX-Titanium). For each dataset, the accuracy of the results depends on how similar the target and reference transcriptomes are and the improvement with tBLASTx is an indication of novel protein data supported by at least two species. Such cases warrant a more thorough investigation and can result in the determination of taxon specific- or rapidly evolving genes. The proportion of reads from the sequencer (after pre-processing) which are part of these coding regions is also shown. This can guide future project designs which wish to aim to alter the representation of non-coding in the sequenced sample.
