Figure 3

Bayesian inference (BI) phylogenetic reconstruction of the LLTP superfamily. The tree was based on the alignment of the conserved amino acid sequence motifs of the LLT module [see Additional file 2]. Species are indicated as numbers and are noted as in Figure 2. Branch lengths are proportionate to BI estimates of numbers of amino acid substitutions and numerals at each node indicate the posterior probability estimated by MrBayes under the model, summed over 9,000 tree samples. Posterior probabilities ≥0.80 are shown. Due to graphical space limitation, 1.00* indicates that the posterior probabilities values of apoCr terminal nodes were 1.00. Abbreviations of LLTP families and subfamilies are as in the legend to Figure 1. The support posterior probability values for LLTP families are bolded.
