Genome sequences included in tree construction from indicated phylum.

The lifestyle of each species is indicated as Omnivore, O; Parasite, P; Facultative parasite, F; Herbivore, He; Bacteriovore, B; or Carnivore, C; followed by reproductive modes Gonochoristic, G; Parthenogenetic, Pg; or Hermaphrodite, H. LGIC denotes the number of genes with LBDs (PFAM PF02931.15) found in the respective genomes. Approximate genome sizes are given in million base pairs (Mbp) and mean contig sizes in bp.
athe analysis was performed on contig rather than supercontig level.
bcontigs were artificially truncated to 100 kbp segments with 2 kbp overlap. Published genomes or draft genomes are give with citations, and sequencing organisation otherwise (GenBank: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov; Ensembl: http://www.ensembl.org; WTSI: http://www.sanger.ac.uk; nematode.net: http://www.nematode.net; GSC/WUSTL: http://genome.wustl.edu; Broad: http://www.broadinstitute.org; WormBase: http://www.wormbase.org; JGI: http://www.jgi.doe.gov).
