Microsporidia MB: Predicted Orthologs for Polar Tube and Spore Wall Proteins

A supplementary table listing predicted orthologs to polar tube and spore wall proteins across Microsporidia species, as referenced in a genome assembly study. The dataset was authored by Roland Pevsner and last updated on May 14, 2026. It is a small 23.6 KB XLSX file shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on predicted orthologs across species.
• Functional annotation of polar tube and spore wall proteins based on orthology.
• Phylogenetic studies of Microsporidia based on conserved protein families.

Strengths

• Dataset is small at 23.6 KB, enabling quick download and inspection.
• Explicitly linked to a specific figure (Fig 4) in its source study, providing clear context.
• Shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
