Supplementary Material

The Supplementary information file contains Figures of relationships inferred by reconstructing phylogenetic trees for seven families of genes within our odor signaling network. These are: 1) guanylyl cyclases; 2) diacylglycerol kinases; 3) vesicular glutamate transporters; 4) G protein alpha subunits; 5) protein kinase G; 6) calcineurin; and 7) cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunits.
