Hi, 

How can we make the difference between Known and Novel ? I have the following ORF and I have 241 sequences in BLAST (with e-value < e-10) but I don't know if the fonction is known or not. Where can I find this information ?

The blast result (Expires on 03-02 05:59 am) on nr with max = 20000 and 1e-10 for the threshold.

Thank you
