Table 2. 240 genes confer phenotypes in S. mediterranea.

See Figure 1E, F for phenotype terminology. “a” observed in “A” scoring (Figure 1B), “c”, observed in “C” scoring (all others observed in “B”). Blastema size: trunk cephalic; smll, small (when number unavailable); hyphen, for large range. Normal sizes not noted. Body fragments: hdfrg, head; tlfrg, tail. Body regions abbreviations are in Figure 1F. If BLST(>1), PR(no) noted if absent; if BLST(≤1), PR(ok) noted if present, nothing noted if absent. If BLST(≤2), “PHX” noted if abnormal and “PHX(ok)” if not. Nothing noted if pharynx data inconclusive. For BLST(≥2.5) ok pharynx regeneration not noted. Eating noted only when should have been possible. Days (d) following amputation noted if schedule atypical.
