Running a protein BLAST search on the Drosophila Ssu72 protein returned a large number of highly relevant (bit score > 200) sequences that were of a very similar length (see Figure 1). However, the first 27 of those sequences were not considered relevant for a number of reasons. For instance, some were simply homologous proteins in other closely related Drosophila species that had been identified in a similar manner to this one and for which there were no PubMed publications available and thus no information that could be easily used to infer function. Others had likewise not been functionally characterised by experimentation or structural analysis and identified by high-throughput sequencing. Some BLAST hits were merely hypothetical proteins and therefore not necessarily even biologically present. However, the first relevant protein identified was 'SSU72 RNA polymerase II CTD phosphatase homolog (S. cerevisiae)', the human Ssu72 protein, for which there were a small number of articles available on PubMed (see Figure 2.)
