^aEvidence codes - IDA: Inferred from Direct Assay; TAS: Traceable Author Statement [i.e., a direct report exists in the literature); NAS: Non-traceable Author Statement [i.e., not directly observed for the living, isolated sample, but based on a generally accepted property for the species, or anecdotal evidence). These evidence codes are from the Gene Ontology project.
