Identified PALM genes and their chromosomal locations.

a

PALM genes with an identified adjacent AKAP2 homolog/paralemmin downstream gene (PDG). For a detailed list of PDG gene locations see Table S1. In the case of Medaka, no PALM1-A or PALMD-B gene was found, but PDG1A and PDG4B genes could be predicted in the expected respective locations. PDG3B genes were found in stickleback and in medaka but are not listed in this table.

b

The identified PDG genes are located on the opposite strand to these PALMD-B genes.

c

Known Palm2-AKAP2 fusion protein [10].

d

Read-through ESTs of PALMD-A and PDG4B detected. See Results.

e

The identified partial PALM1-A like sequence in Green spotted pufferfish and partial PALM3 sequence in medaka were not used in the phylogenetic analyses. See Results.

Chromosome assignments are given where possible, “s_” denotes assignment to unassembled scaffolds and “u_” denotes assignment to unassembled ultracontigs. Locations are given in megabases, unless specified. Information about genomic assembly versions can be found in Table S1.
