Figure 7

Phylogenetic relationships of class IIa 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 midpoint method. Sequences group into two main clusters corresponding to class IIa SLRPs: fibromodulins FMOD and FMOD2, and lumicans LUM and LUM2. The second copies FMOD2 and LUM2 are only present in genomes of ray-finned fishes. Clade probability values higher than 60% are indicated as in Figure 6. The scale bar represents amino acid substitutions per site.
