Amino acid (AA) composition of all full-length CP homolog sequences. a. CP19k homologs, b. CP43k homologs, c. CP20k homologs, d. CP52k homologs, e. CP100k homologs. The color scale shows the relative abundance of the amino acids in percentage with respect to the total number of amino acids of the CP homologs. The amino acid columns are three clusters based on the k-mean clustering method (k-mean cluster = 3) to visualize amino acid bias among CP homologs. Enriched amino acids are highlighted in enlarged red characters. K-mean clustering of CP homologs was also performed (row clustering) to observe similarity in amino acid composition among homologs. Abbreviations: Aamph – Amphibalanus amphitrite, Ctest – C. testudinaria, Cmite – C. mitella, Cmala – C. malayensis, Chunt – C. hunteri, Mrosa – Megabalanus rosa, Majax – Megabalanus ajax, Tform – Tetraclita japonica formosana
