Alignment of W. argentea Pax genes and bilaterian orthologs. Alignment of predicted amino acid sequences of various bilaterian Pax genes including War-Pax2/5/8, War-Pax6, War-Paxβ, Acr-Pax6 and Acr-Paxβ (labeled with asterisk). The conserved N-terminal PAIRED domain (red), and, if present, the octapeptide (green) and the (partial) prd-class homeodomain (blue) are shown, while the C-terminal transactivation domain is omitted. GenBank accession numbers of all encoding genes used are listed in Table 1
