Species	Sleeperdomain 1.	Sleeperdomain 3.	Full length DAYSLEEPER
Persea americana	b4_ep_c61270, b4_c39392	b4_c14697, b4_c9266, b4_ep_c32228	b4_c2641, b4_c7656
Nuphar advena	b3_c39269	b3_c17103, b3_c9604	b3_c707, b3_c1078
Liriodendron tulipifera	b3_c3339, b3_c108364	b3_c2953, b3_c39743	b3_c2953, b3_c21053

TBLASTN searches were performed on the EST databases of the AAGP (Ancestral Angiosperm Genome Project; http://ancangio.uga.edu/). Only unique ESTs are shown. The cut-off score for ESTs found with the full-length DAYSLEEPER sequence TBLASTN query is 400. Queries were performed with SLEEPERmotif1 and 3 and the full-length amino acid sequence of DAYSLEEPER.
