List of histone IDs for Culex sperm proteome.

Most IDs for the histones were ambiguous due to the high degree of sequence similarity among these genes. Sheet 1 of the file shows all of the possible histone IDs from the MS analysis. Sheet 2 shows the groups of ambiguous IDs (each ID group is separated from others by an empty row) found in the first two MS analyses. The third analysis of sperm proteins combined data from MS of proteins extracted from gel slices and are not included here, since they can not be considered comparable to the first two samples. The two histone isoforms that were uniquely identified are highlighted in pink. (XLS)
