  1. (A) Classes of incorrect hits, labelled by hierarchical relationship to the specific domain. (B) Number of sequences with self hit and other hit of the respective category; the number of domains containing these sequences is in parentheses. (C) Number of sequences with other domain scoring higher than correct domain; the number of domains containing these sequences is in parentheses. (D) Error rate as percent of sequences with higher score from incorrect domain than the self hit, averaged over domains containing sequences with both types of hits.
