Figure 2

The Bayesian tree of conserved sHSP amino acid sequences of B. mori, D. melanogaster, An. gambiae, Ap. Mellifera, and T. castaneum. Numbers beside the nodes indicate the supporting values measured by the posterior probabilities. The names of amino acid sequences are composed of species names and predict molecular weights. The numbers behind dashes are linkage groups on which the genes are located. If there is another number following the linkage group, it is the number of exons for that gene. We also reconstructed an NJ tree with JTT amino acid matrix and pairwise deletion in MEGA, using the same alignment sequences. The bootstrap values (1000 bootstrap replicates) are listed following the posterior probabilities. The wide branches indicate that the gene members behind them are the same between the Bayesian tree and the NJ tree. However, Tcas13.2 marked with asterisk is not behind the corresponding branch in the NJ tree.
