No existing work can be certainly attributed to him, and, although his influence must have been widespread, attempts to identify copies of his works remain conjectural.
We were not able to identify copies of full-length piggyBac families [ 39] or the Herves element, which correspond to a class II active element [ 40].
We found 27 complete out of 60 identified copies of TIR-220 in the D. americana assembled genome, but only as part of short arrays (up to three copies), typical for the TIRs of Tetris.
The predictive discriminant analysis correctly identified copies of classes 3, 4 and 5 of alpha tubulin based on the three indices of protein chemistry (successfully identifying 100% of each class).
For example, the characterization of FAD2 and FAE1 in C. sativa could enable the use of TILLING techniques to isolate C. sativa plants with mutations in each of the three identified copies of both genes.
However, analyses of the genomes of the Chinese softshell turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) (Wang et al. 2013) and the western painted turtle (Chrysemys picta bellii) (Shaffer et al. 2013) identified copies of all eight vertebrate globin genes in both species.
PNO has been described in the apicomplexan Cryptosporidium hominis (Rotte et al. 2001; Xu et al. 2004), and our analysis also identified copies of PNO in the perkinsid P. marinus.
The mtDNA of all hydrozoans but the trachyline C. aphrodite lacked the two extra ORFs (polB and ORF314) (fig. 2 A ). Furthermore, we were not able to identify copies of these genes in the nuclear genome of H. magnipapillata (Chapman et al. 2010).
In addition to the two previously identified copies of CDK9 (CdkC1 and CdkC2) from Arabidopsis, and one from Oryza (CdkC1) [ 33, 34], our Blast searches also retrieved a large group of CDK9-like sequences (14 from Arabidopsis and 8 from Oryza) (Table 1).
