Evidence codes - IDA, Inferred from Direct Assay (first time in publication), 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). Evidence codes are from the Gene Ontology project [5]
