Figure 5.
Horizontal gene transfer across Blastocystis evolution. (A) Estimated time of transfer for 40 horizontally transferred genes in Blastocystis shared between more than one species or strain. These data include previously identified and validated cases originally identified in Eme et al. (2017) and newly identified transfer events. (B) Gene phylogeny of tortoise isolate alpha-rhamnosidase genes and 588 homologous proteins. Support values indicate 1000 replicates of SH-aLRT test and ultrafast bootstraps (UFboot). Branches with support values <95 for UFboot or <80 for SH-aLRT are collapsed.
