2 RESEARCH Supplementary Figure 2 dddlac Oryctolagus cuniculus Mus musculus Maximal Query Coverage Quality analysis of the dddlac assembly. The set of 248 core eukaryotic genes 41 were blasted against dddlac (tblastn with e-value cutoff ), the hit with the longest HSP was selected and the respective coverage in terms of query length was calculated (1 = HSP extending over entire query length). The Mus muscuslus (mouse; Ensembl v71) and Oryctolagus cuniculus (rabbit; Ensembl v71) transcriptomes were similarly analyzed as assembly references. The distribution of the 248 maximal coverage scores is graphed for each species as a boxplot, with upper and lower box boundaries corresponding to the first and third quartiles and the thick line indicating the median. Black circles mark the outliers of the fourth quartile. The mean maximal core gene coverage for dddlac is 96 % (sd=0.08) and thus within range of the two vertebrate transcriptomes assembled with genomic support. 2

5 RESEARCH c Analysis of Wnt ligands and Frizzled receptors (Fzd) in Dlac and Smed. a: Neighbor joining phylogenetic tree for the Wnt proteins, Smed Wnts are colored in red and Dlac Wnts in blue. Bootstrap values above 80% are shown. *: Dlac-Wnt11-3 is represented in the dddlac assembly as short fragment and was therefore not included in the alignments. b: Neighbor joining phylogenetic tree for the Fzd proteins, Smed Fzds are colored in red and Dlac Fzds in blue. Bootstrap values above 80% are shown. The Wnt and the Frizzled protein sequences from Homo sapiens (Hsap), Danio rerio (Drer), Drosophila melanogaster (Dmel) and Cenorhabditis elegans (Cele) were retrieved based on their sequence similarity using BLAST in addition to the Dlac and Smed sequences. Domains were predicted using InterProScan and subsequently aligned using ClustalX 2.1. Neighbor joining phylogenetic trees were constructed, excluding aligned positions with gaps and correcting for multiple substitutions, using ClustalX. The neighbor joining method was chosen primarily due 5

6 RESEARCH to its speed and comparative simplicity; the phylogenies are intended only to provide an outline of the Fzd and Wnt phylogenetic groupings and to indicate orthology between Smed and Dlac proteins. Dlac Wnts were named based on 2. Planarian Fzds have not been named or analyzed systematically so far. As for the Wnts 2, stringent orthology assignments were difficult, but planarian Fzd proteins clearly partition into three distinct groups. Our naming scheme therefore designates the group by homology to the closest Fzd subfamilies (e.g., Fzd-4; Fzd-5/8; Fzd-1/2/7), followed by a digit designation of the specific group member (e.g., Fzd-4-1 for Fzd-4). We propose the use of a letter postfix to designate putative species-specific paralogs in planarians (e.g., Dlac-Fzd4-1a and Dlac-Fzd4-1b), which is a case not not yet considered by the planarian gene naming convention3. c: Top: Protein sequence alignment of the Fzd domain of Smed-Fzd-4-1, Dlac-Fzd-4-1a and Dlac-Fzd-4-1b using ClustalX. Bottom: Corresponding nucleotide alignments of the two Dlac Fzd domains. High overall sequence homology between Dlac-Frz-4-1a and b, yet frequent substitutions at the amino acid- and especially the nucleotide level, favor a gene duplication event rather than an assembly artifact as explanation for the existence of two Dlac-fzd-4-1 transcripts. 6

Individual measurements (black circles, averages of three technical replicates) are plotted as fold-change relative to the mean expression level of the 0 h samples. Error bars designate 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Number of fragments displaying the triangular outgrowth or anterior wnt-11-2 expression/total number of fragments is indicated. Scale bars: 500 µm. Double tails were observed infrequently, but consistently in a small proportion of animals. The phenomenon has been noticed before and estimated to occur at a frequency of 4 out of 31 cases 43, even though tail identity could not be ascertained in these studies due to lack of appropriate markers. Interestingly, blastema extracts have been reported to increase the proportion of tail fragments developing outgrowths 44,45 and the morphology of the examples shown indicate that they were most likely tails. 15
