  • Class 1 and class 2 domains are combined in this overview. Only domain families that occur more than four times in the dataset and for which the symmetrical intron phase combination has a frequency >.7 are shown.

  • Pfam database identification (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/software/Pfam/index.shtml).

  • Total number of occurrences.

  • Flanking intron phase combination.

  • Frequency of intron phase combination among members of respective domain family.
