From: The WTX/AMER1 gene family: evolution, signature and function
Phylogenetic analysis of the Amer gene family. A. Unrooted Bayesian phylogenetic tree of Wtx/Amer1, Amer2 and Amer3 from each class of the vertebrate subphylum using the whole sequence estimated under the JTT + I + G model (1 MrBayes run of 1,000,000 generations; 453,000 generation burn-in). Numbers indicate posterior probabilities. Abbreviations of taxa are described in Table S1 (additional file 2). Multiple alignment is provided in Figure SM7 (additional file 4). B. Similarity percentage between human and mouse Amer proteins for the whole sequence showing that WTX/Amer1 and Amer2 are more closely related. Identical results were obtained for chicken and teleost fishes (data not shown).
