Systematic analysis of insertions and deletions specific to nematode proteins and their proposed functional and evolutionary relevance

Table 1 Common^a/restricted^b insertions and deletions in proteins inferred for nematodes with different trophic ecologies

	Free-Living nematodes Caenorhabditis species	Plant-parasitic nematodes	Animal/human parasitic nematodes	All Parasitic nematodes
Insertions	213/831	26/340	10/561	1/901
Deletions	159/1894	81/1285	59/2267	3/3552

^a, common indels, conserved among all members of a group and specific to that group of nematodes,
^b, restricted indels, restricted to a group of nematodes but not conserved among all of its members.
