Phylogenetic trees of eukaryote scd isoforms. (a) Phylogenetic trees based on the nucleotide sequence data. The numbers on nodes indicated the support values, the former number was calculated using PHYML, and the latter number was calculated by FastTree 2.1.3. If bootstrap values were less than 50%, they were defaulted. Trees were rooted by yeast ole1 gene. (b) Phylogenetic trees based on the amino acid sequences of 9 model animals with MEGA 4.0. The numbers on nodes indicated the support values. If bootstrap values were less than 50%, they were defaulted. Trees were rooted by C. elegans SCD paralogs.
