Similarity of barnacle adhesive cDNA and AA sequences between different species.

Similarity was calculated using GeneDoc [41], based on Clustal W alignments created in Mega5 [40]. Similarity is calculated for species pairs, so for groups of more than two species a range of similarity is given. Two variants of cp-20k exist in A. amphitrite and both were included in alignments, resulting in a range of similarity values for the cp-20k two species comparison.
