Comparison of predicted amino acid sequences of lobster and Drosophila IRs.

Drosophila (Dmel), Panulirus argus (Parg) and Homarus americanus (Hame) IR predicted amino acid sequences were compared. Geneious software, version 5.6.6 created by Biomatters (available from http://www.geneious.com/) was used to translate putative protein sequences and align sequences (using the Geneious ClustalW plug-in) to generate percent amino acid identity. Accession number include KC595306 for PargIR25a, KC595307 for PargIR8a, KC595308 for PargIR93a, AY098942.1 for HameIR25a, NM_135019.2 for DmelIR25a, NM_167185.1 for DmelIR8a, and NM_142666.4 for DmelIR93a. The HameIR8a sequence is unpublished (generously shared by Dr. Timothy McClintock).
