^aEvidence codes - 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 [34]
