Figure 7

Phylogeny of RNA editing and duplicated exons of nAChR subunit alpha6 gene from D. melanogaster (Dme), A. gambiae (Aga), B. mori (Bmo), T. castaneum (Tca) and A. mellifera (Ame). RNA editing and duplicated exons of the nAChR subunit alpha6 genes from D. melanogaster and A. gambiae have been previously described [16,17]. Recent work suggests that the Hymenoptera are basal to the Coleoptera in the Endopterygota [22,23]. (A) Phylogeny of RNA editing and comparative sequence analysis of the flanking intronic sequences. Dashes indicate no detectable editing. Boxes denoting generations (+) and disappearances of particular editing events are indicated by boxes. The editing sites correspond to the number in Figure 5. (B) Phylogeny of duplicated exons. Boxes indicate generations (+) and disappearances of particular duplicated exons during evolution.
