After orthologous complementation, among the highly significant candidate genes were, for example, PAI3 (essential Proteinase A inhibitor) in S. cerevisiae , hcf-1 (human host cell factor (HCF-1) homolog) in C. elegans , CG7333 (an organic cation transmembrane transporter) in D. melanogaster , Raf1 (MAP kinase kinase kinase) in Mus musculus , and ACD (involved in telomere maintenance and meiosis) in humans.

The sentences
Although no homologous group was significant at False Discovery Rate (FDR)<0.05 (which appears to be too strict for comparisons across multiple species), by the more relaxed criterion of having a binomial p-value<0.05, four homologous groups were nominally significant: CAB39 , the genes encoding 14-3-3 proteins, sirtuins, and AHCY encoding S-adenosylhomocysteinase.
