Xenopus tropicalis bHLH genes were named according to their human orthologous genes’ names (or common abbreviations) and the referred nomenclature was mainly from the tables and additional tables provided by Ledent et al. [4] and Simionato et al. [6]. Bootstrap values were converted from phylogenetic analyses with human bHLH sequences using BI and MLE algorithm, respectively. MLE bootstrap valuea refers to the result from maximum likelihood estimate in phylogenetic analysis, and BI posterior probabilityb refers to the result from BI in phylogenetic analysis. The numbers in the phylogenetic trees are converted into percentages. The accession numbers were retrieved from the following resources; this sequence was verified by many EST TBLASTN search hits, such as EG651417.1 and CX503003.2 (EST accession number). These numbered as “NP” were from the RefSeq protein database and those numbered as “XP” were from the Build protein database. Notes in the brackets are also gene symbols according to records in NCBI and Xenbase. All of the bHLH genes are organized in the order of bHLH families manifested in Table 1 of Ledent et al. [4]. The question mark means no matching; mark n/m* means no monophyletic group with single particular orthologous gene sequences, but formed a monophyletic group with two or more orthologous gene sequences of the family; mark n/m denotes the case of lower bootstrap value estimated less than 50%.The accession numbers were retrieved from the ab initio protein database.
