For each gene, we list its length in ferns and in Arabidopsis, provide the TAIR accession number for the Arabidopsis sequence (as well as its number of introns and chromosomal position). The TreeBASE accession number for our “all-in” fern alignments is S14616. Comparisons with Arabidopsis thaliana are based on the most closely related homolog(s). a These loci were trimmed to a focal region prior to completion, so the full length of the coding DNA sequence (CDS) is unknown.
