Expression and molecular phylogeny of leech AAD genes a. Expression levels in four cell types and the remainder of the ganglion of the four amino acid decarboxylase genes found in the Hirudo transcriptome. Error bars denote the standard error of the mean; TPM = Transcripts per Kilobase Million. b. A maximum-likelihood phylogram including all amino acid decarboxylase genes found in the Helobdella robusta genome (in red), only four of which appeared in the Hirudo transcriptome. The resolved families of DOPA, Histidine, Tyrosine, and the paraphyletic clade of Glutamate Decarboxylases are shown at right. Support values are shown at each node; scale bar = the average number of substitutions per site along each branch. Mouse = Mus musculus, Polychaete = Capitella teleta, Leech = Helobdella robusta, Fly = Drosophila melanogaster, Limpet = Lottia gigantea, Oyster = Crassostrea gigas, Octopus = Octopus bimaculoides
