^aEvidence codes - IDA Inferred from Direct Assay, TAS Traceable Author Statement (i.e., a direct report exists in the literature), NAS Non-traceable Author Statement (i.e., not directly observed for the living, isolated sample, but based on a generally accepted property for the species, or anecdotal evidence), IGC Inferred from Genomic Content (i.e., average nucleotide identity, syntenic regions). These evidence codes are from the Gene Ontology project [49]
