Phylogenetic analysis of eIF4E-family members

Table 2 Identification and verification of nucleotide sequences encoding eIF4E-family members

Region within the coding sequences of an eIF4E-family member	Number of eIF4E-family members
	Identified	Verified⁴
Start Codon¹	278	155
Stop Codon²	259	149
Complete coding sequence	200	105
Sequence encoding the entire core region³	243	120 (142 >90%)
Total dataset (any region identified)	411	NA

¹Initiation of translation was assumed to occur at ATG codons. ²The first of any of UGA, UAG, and UAA codons 3' and in frame with core regions were assumed to be translational stop codons. ³Core regions defined as regions including codons representing equivalents of H. sapiens eIF4E-1 residues His-37 to His-200. ⁴Number of eIF4E-family members for which the sequence or region indicated could be verified by two or more sequence reads.
