  1. Gene identifier is the genome project systematic name for each gene. It corresponds to the locus tag in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank record and to the main accession numbers for GeneDB.
  2. *There are several copies of tubulin (alpha, Smp_027920, Smp_090120 and Smp_103140; beta, Smp_192110, Smp_079960, Smp_079970, Smp_078040 and Smp_035760).
  3. The potential drugs are classified according to the confidence with which the efficacy of the drug in human can be attributed to the target.
  4. †Direct and clear evidence that this interaction is primarily responsible for the therapeutic action of the drug.
  5. ‡Direct and clear evidence that this interaction represents one mechanism for the drug, other targets/mechanisms may also exist.
  6. §Indirect or inferred evidence of the association of the drug, target and therapeutic action, although the exact mechanism is still speculative.
