*In progress: the genome sequence has not been fully completed and an accession number has not yet been assigned. ^†Sequences generated using 454 technology representing a large number of contigs. These are almost certainly not complete. ^‡These genes were predicted using EasyGene version 1.2. All other genes were predicted using EasyGene version 1.0.
