Figure 4.
Proposed evolution of family 35_3.0. The multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic reconstruction is described in the Methods section. There were two instances where gene duplication occurred, along with evidence for subsequent gene loss in one lineage. The incomplete nature of partial genomes makes interpretation of gene loss difficult, but has less effect when considering duplication events. Bootstrap values are given at the nodes and are a percentage of 1000 replicated multiple sequence alignments. Nodes supported by <50% of replicates are shown as a polytomy.
