β-tubulin proteins included in phylogenetic analyses.

WormBase ParaSite or NCBI Gene ID and Transcript ID of all β-tubulin proteins included in the phylogenetic analyses and trees. Caenorhabditis elegans and Haemonchus contortus β-tubulin protein sequences were obtained from published genomes [50,73]. The corresponding names were adopted from published literature [27,30]. For Trichuris trichiura, Necator americanus and Ancylostoma ceylanicum keyword search for ‘tubulin beta’ and BLASTP search with the Ascaris β-tubulin genes against the published genomes [74–76] resulted in two sequences for T. trichiura and four sequences for both hookworms. The genome assembly and annotation of A. ceylanicum were used as close representative of A. duodenale, since this genome assembly has low quality metrics. For Parascaris equorum and Ascaridia galli, the sequences published by Tyden et al. (2013) were used [26]. Three β-tubulins from Drosophila melanogaster are included in the list to be used as outgroups. (XLSX)
