  1. Percent similarity and identity of the D. melanogaster, A. mellifera, T. spiralis, and human CTCF ZF regions. The identity between human CTCF (Hs) and CTCF from basal nematodes and basal insects (Ts, Am) is higher than between human CTCF and D. melanogaster CTCF, a rapidly evolving insect (Dm). Values result from the comparison of human (Accession number NM_006565.2), A. mellifera (XP_624731.1), D. melanogaster (NP_648109.1), and our Trichinella CTCF.
