The search also revealed that there were multiple CF found in the insect dataset containing Frataxin homologs (CI_005786, CI_005711, CI_005644, CI_000213, among others) and in the fungal dataset (CF_012296 and CF_009163). This shows that the Frataxin genomic context tends to be conserved, but that the specific neighboring genes are clade-specific. The functional relationship between the Frataxin-surrounding genes and Frataxin in the different clades is unknown and deserves further investigation.
