Among these groups, 2132 unigenes were annotated to "General Function Prediction Only", 484 unigenes were annotated to "Carbohydrate metabolism and transport", and 1389 unigenes were annotated to "Signal transduction mechanisms".
We also found that 84 unigenes were annotated to "Defence mechanisms".
Additionally, 40 unigenes were annotated to be involved in the biosynthetic steps from GGPP to taxol within 'diterpenoid biosynthesis' pathway.
One potential and partial taxol biosynthesis pathway in C. cladosporioides MD2 was speculated, and dozens of unigenes were annotated to be involved in taxol biosynthesis.
According to our results shown in Additional file 1: Figure S2, 25,105 unigenes were annotated to 56 terms of GO classification.
Most (34 from 36, 94%) of upregulated genes were annotated to
Differentially regulated proteins were annotated to each of the shaded terms.
These 4,472 probe sets were annotated to 3320 unique genes using DAVID.
Of the 468 (the total number of) 300 kb regions analyzed, only 38 (8.1%) were annotated to not contain transcripts.
These genes are also well characterized; only four of the 112 genes were annotated to "biological process unknown".
In the S. gregaria database several ESTs were annotated to be involved in GPCR signaling pathways (GO: 0007186).
