This is the alignment used for the work:
"Genomics of Terpene Biosynthesis in Dictyoceratid Sponges (Porifera) – What Do We (not) Know?" Authored by Adrian Galitz, Sergio Vargas, Olivier P. Thomas, Maggie M. Reddy, Gert Wörheide and Dirk Erpenbeck.

This concatenated amino acid alignment is used for phylogenetic reconstructions, and consists of 253 amino acid sequences (i.e., demosponge transcripts and NCBI GenBank sequences), with an alignment length of 1305 amino acids.
