  1. This table shows the number of genes encoding each type of domain. Genes encoding multiple domains of the same type are counted only once. Dashes indicate the domain was not investigated. *These genes encode two distinct domains: PD and HD; SAND and AT hook. †Without access to the complete Rubin and Reichmann lists, we are unable to classify their PD family members. ‡Twenty-three genes in wTF2.0 encode two different types of domain.
