Drosophila (Dmel), Panulirus argus (Parg) and Homarus americanus (Hame) IR predicted amino acid sequences were compared. Geneious software, version 5.6.6 created by Biomatters (available from http://www.geneious.com/) was used to translate putative protein sequences and align sequences (using the Geneious ClustalW plug-in) to generate percent amino acid identity. Accession number include KC595306 for PargIR25a, KC595307 for PargIR8a, KC595308 for PargIR93a, AY098942.1 for HameIR25a, NM_135019.2 for DmelIR25a, NM_167185.1 for DmelIR8a, and NM_142666.4 for DmelIR93a. The HameIR8a sequence is unpublished (generously shared by Dr. Timothy McClintock).
