By cross referencing the list of M. incognita proteins having a predicted signal peptide for secretion and no predicted transmembrane region with the list of proteins encoded by genes with Mel-DOG motifs in their upstream regions, we could predict 457 candidate dorsal gland (DG) effectors in the genome. We used the functional annotation produced by InterProScan to search for enriched GO terms in these predicted DG effectors using GOfuncR.
