blue Order
green Family
dotted A dotted rectangle indicates that the corresponding NCBI taxonomy level of classification is not shown in IMGT flat files (and therefore cannot be queried in IMGT/LIGM-DB).
bracket Brackets indicate a taxonomy level of classification not reported in the NCBI taxonomy.
white A non-limited vertical line indicates that there are more than 5 subdivisions
