Figure S1 shows a search procedure for sequences containing two SECIS elements. Figure S2 features a multiple alignment of vertebrate SelP sequences. Figure S3 shows partial alignment of fish and mammalian SelP sequences. Figure S4 is a plot of selenoproteome size versus Sec content of SelPs. Figure S5 shows recent Sec/Cys changes in SelP sequences. Figure S6 provides an example of evolution of new Sec residues by carboxy-terminal extension. Figure S7 shows an in silico expression profile of SelP. Figure S8 is a plot of Cys content versus Sec content of SelPs
