Eukaryotic Porin Sequences. The table provides descriptions of the sequences used for the analysis, their sources, their designations in the datasets in [Additional Files 3 and 4], and the narrow classification of the organisms that were the sources of the indicated porin sequences.

Additional File 2:

Phylogenetic estimate of the evolutionary history of 244 porin amino acid sequences. The phylogenetic tree is based on a NJ majority rule consensus tree constructed by analysing 1000 bootstrap replicates. Levels of confidence for nodes are only given if bootstrap support exceeded 70%. The chordate VDAC1, VDAC2 and VDAC3 groupings are indicated; the dashed portion of the line encompassing the VDAC3 group indicates putative VDAC3 molecules. Yeast VDAC1 and VDAC2 groupings are also shown. The putative VDAC2 of C. glabrata is highly diverged from the other yeast VDAC2s, but has been labelled VDAC2 as a strong candidate VDAC1 sequence was identified.
