基金Part of the sequencing for this study was performed by A.Couloux at the Genoscope or“Consortium National de Recherche en Génomique”near Paris(France)as part of the agreement n°2005/67 on the project“Macrophylogeny of life”between the Genoscope and the“service de systématique moléculaire”(CNRS IFR 101)of the Muséum national d’histoire naturelleFor sequencing,this study also received continuing support from the ATM-project“Barcode of life”of the Muséum national d’histoire naturelle(Dirs.L.Legall and S.Samadi).
