¹The number of eIF4E-family members for which nucleotide coding sequences were identified. In parentheses: the number of eIF4E-family members identified excluding those based only on genomic sequences. ²The number of species (organisms) represented for which nucleotide sequences encoding an eIF4E-family member could be identified. In parentheses: the number of species represented excluding those for which genomic sequences were the only source for identification of an eIF4E-family member.
