Figure 5.
Phylogenetic tree showing the relationships between hemiascomycetous retrotransposons and other LTR-retrotransposons. This tree is based on RT protein sequence alignments. For bootstrap analyses, we constructed this tree by the neighbor-joining method using ClustalX. Bootstrap values based on 1000 replications are shown next to the nodes. Only bootstrap values for branches receiving >50% support are shown. Newly identified retroelements from hemiascomycetous yeasts are shown in bold. Host species are indicated within brackets. The LINE element L1Hs from Homo sapiens was used as an outgroup.
