List of group 2 genes (conserved in schistosomes and deuterostomes, but lost in nematodes and arthropods). This table provides full statistics about query and hit coverage, identity and similarity percentages and annotations. Column "P" represents the presence (1) or absence (0) of a planarian homolog. The first four entries are for the three genes that were further characterized in this work.

Conserved domains in SmIRF. A: BLAST analysis against the SWISSPROT database. A conserved N-terminal DNA-binding domain in SmIRF can be easily detected. B: In silico analysis of SmIRF using NetPhos revealed the presence of several Serine phosphorylation sites, important for IRF function and regulation.
