The authors inadvertently failed to give proper attribution for the gene-finding software used in the analysis. Their use of GeneID should have cited Glöckner et al. (2002), “Sequence and analysis of chromosome 2 of Dictyostelium discoideum,” Nature 418: 79–85. The training on D. discoideum gene sets of HMMgene was done by Rolf Olsen and Anders Krogh, and of Genefinder by Marie-Adele Rajandream; neither of these training sets has been published. In addition, they acknowledge Neil Hall for making available unpublished sequences of Theileria annulata (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Projects/Protozoa/) for comparison with C. parvum. The authors apologize to those concerned for these omissions.
