Phylogenetic tree of Cas-1 and Cas-3 proteins from M. sexta. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using the following sequences: Cas-1 from Bombyx mori (Q8I9V7), Spodoptera frugiperda (P89116), Plutella xylostella (D9IVD4), Trichoplusia ni (B6EEC1) Helicoverpa armigera (A7L9Z3), Drosophila melanogaster (O01382), Culex quinquefasciatus (B0W0K2), Musca domestica (B5AK94), and Manduca sexta (ctg7180001044351). Cas-3 from Aedes aegypti (Q178B6), C. quinquefasciatus (B0WZJ4), D. melanogaster (Q7KHK9), B. mori (Q2HZ04 and Q2HZ05), and M. sexta (ctg7180001055914). Cas-6 from D. melanogaster (Q9NHF9). Cas-7 from Anopheles stephensi (Q86FL0). Cas-8 from An. gambiae (Q5TMK1) and Ae. Aegypti (Q16H55).
