Plasmodium protein data sets used for profile HMMs construction.

*The remaining protein sequences correspond to P. chabaudi (10), P. knowlesi (8), P. gallinaceum (1) and P. malariae (1).**Level of evidence that supports the existence of the protein concerned. “Prot/Trans” indicates that there is clear experimental evidence for the existence of the protein or that expression data indicate the existence of a transcript. “Homology” indicates that the existence of a protein is probable because orthologs exist in closely-related species. “Predicted” is used for entries without evidence at protein, transcript, or homology levels. ‘Putative’ indicates putative proteins having predicted existence.
