Tree-based phylogeny of vertebrate Gal-8 homologs. A maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree constructed using protein sequences of vertebrate Gal-8s shows a deep split between Actinopterygii and Sarcopterygii with strong bootstrap support. Actinopterygian Gal-8s segregate into two distinct clusters that is likely the result of genome duplication. Gal-8 sequence of the elephant shark C. milii was used as an outgroup
