Figure 3

Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic tree of 63 sialyltransferases of the ST8Sia family. A Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic tree was constructed with the Phyml, JTT model of amino acid substitution; 63 ST8Sia sequences, 201 out of 426 positions (47%) were selected with G-BLOCKS. Bootstrap values were calculated from 500 replicates and values > 50% are reported at the left of each divergence point. GenBank accession numbers are indicated after the abbreviated name of the animal species. The tree was rooted with the invertebrate B. floridae sequences Bfl-0, Bfl-1, Bfl-2 and Bfl-5 as the outgroup.
