Protein of unknown function (

Blast

Megablast confirmed that the sequence is 100% identical to one in (Halomicrobium mukohataei). Blast also showed that the microbe (Halorhabdus utahensis) has a sequence that is 100% identical to this particular gene, and that (Saccharopolyspora erythraea) has two identified genes with sequences similar to those found within this sequence (shown below).

GC Content

The GC content for this gene is 70% and the GC content for our species' genome is 66%. These percentages are fairly similar, thus ruling out the possibility the possibility that this is an outside gene. There may however exist paralogs and orthologs to this gene.
