Figure 6From: LRRCE: a leucine-rich repeat cysteine capping motif unique to the chordate lineagePhylogenetic relationships of class I SLRPs, inferred from the multiple sequence alignment of LRR domains from a reduced set of SLRP sequences (see Methods). The tree has been rooted using the BGL lamprey sequences as outgroup. A second BGN sequence (BGN2) has been identified in the zebrafish genome but not yet in other fishes. Clade proability values higher than 60% are indicated, bayesian estimates in bold-type, neighbor-joining in italics, and maximum-likelihood in roman type. Probability values for the fine structure in each clade are not shown for clarity. The scale bar represents amino acid substitutions per site.Back to article page
