Gene Expression Divergence and Evolutionary Analysis of the Drosomycin Gene Family in Drosophila melanogaster

Figure 6

Neighbor-Joining tree of drosomycin gene family in Drosophila species. The tree was reconstructed by the NJ method implemented in Mega 4 with 1000 bootstrap replicates. Gaps were pairwise deleted, and the Maximum Composite Likelihood model was applied to estimate the branch length. Dot cycles with the light blue green square enclosed genes in the same cluster: the C1 is the cluster 1 at the 63D2 of 3L; C2 and C3 are the cluster 2 and cluster 3 at the 63D1 of 3L. TEs and repetitive sequence in D. melanogaster were shown in red beside each branch: R indicated the repetitive sequence, and -TE was the TE at the -flanking region, -TE was the TE at the -flanking region, and / -TE was TEs at both flanking regions. Abbreviation for species: mel: D. melanogaster; sim: D. simulans; sec: D. sechellia; yak: D. yakuba; ere: D. erecta; ana: D. ananassae; tri: D. triauraria.
