  1. Numbers of colonies screened and sequenced, putative A-superfamily gene sequences, unique sequences, non-artefactual alleles and loci recovered from venom duct transcripts of Conus species, as well as the percentages represented by expressed genes in the genomic profiles of A-superfamily of each species. Alignments of unique sequences and alleles are shown in Additional file 1 and Additional file 2.
