Phylogenies of A-superfamily conotoxin genes retrieved from genomic DNA and venom duct cDNA of four Conus species. Bayesian consensus phylogeny of putative allele sequences of all genes recovered from the genomic DNA of these species (i.e., ‘the genome phylogeny’) constructed with complete deletion and the HKY + I + G model (left). Bayesian consensus phylogeny of putative allele sequences expressed in venom ducts of these species (i.e., ‘the expression phylogeny’) constructed with complete deletion and the HKY + I model (right). Posterior probabilities are labeled at each node. Sequences that are expressed are shaded in yellow in both trees; putative duplication events are labeled with red asterisks in the genome phylogeny.
