A Comparative Genomic and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Origin and Evolution of the CCN Gene Family

<p><i>Multiple sequence alignment of CCN2 proteins in various species</i>. The alignment was established by loading the sequences to DNAMAN and ClustalX. (a) Amino acid alignment for vertebrates (<i>H. sapiens</i>,<i> M. musculus</i>,<i> X. tropicalis</i>, and<i> D. rerio</i>); (b) amino acid alignment containing vertebrates and invertebrates (<i>H. sapiens</i>,<i> M. musculus</i>,<i> X. tropicalis</i>,<i> D. rerio</i>,<i> C. intestinalis</i>,<i> B. floridae</i>,<i> C. gigas</i>, and<i> D. melanogaster</i>).</p>
