Neighbor-joining analysis of Gossypium gypsy-like Gorge1, 2, and 3 reverse transcriptase sequences. Unrooted Neighbor-joining analysis of 373 Gossypium, 24 Arabidopsis, and 36 Brassica gypsy reverse transcriptase sequences provides support for the three distinct classes of gypsy-like sequences in Gossypium. Gorge1 is similar to Arabidopsis gypsy sequence athila, Gorge2 is similar to maize cinful1, and Gorge3 is similar to del1–46 from Lilium henryi and dea1 from Ananas comosus. Bootstrap values for the deeper nodes are shown.
