Location of the genes of the C1 and C2 ParaHox paralogon. List of the genes used for the computation of the trees via PHYML and Mr. Bayes analyses, including the orientation of the gene (→ means 5'-3'; ← means 3'-5' orientation) and the database the DNA sequence was taken from. All sequences from NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) [52] were taken as annotated there; the sequences from the other databases (MGP (Medaka Genome Project) [65], version 200506) and Ensembl [66]T. nigroviridis version Tetraodon7, T. rubripes version Fugu4.0, O. latipes version Medaka1, G. aculeatus version BroadS1,D. rerio version Zv6) were annotated by hand.

Comparison of the genome size and the size of the C1, C2, D1 and D2 ParaHox paralogons. All genome size estimations, except A. burtoni from the animal genome size database [57], A. burtoni estimation from (Lang et al. 2006); size estimation of the D1 and D2 cluster from (Braasch et al. 2006). The gene flt4 is not included in this analysis.
