SmLEV1 homologues identified in other Schistosomatidae species.

The entire collection of genomes available at WormBase Parasite (available at parasite.wormbase.org) was interrogated for SmLEV1 homologues using the full-length (SmLEV1.1) protein sequence a search query. Initial BLASTp searches identified existing gene predictions in Schistosoma species. Secondary tBLASTn searches were then conducted to account for incomplete gene predictions and species with a draft genome. E value threshold was set to 1xE-5. (XLSX)
