Phylogenetic analysis of the Warthog family in C. elegans and other nematodes. a Cladogram showing relationships between nematodes in this study and a table showing their Warthog orthologues. Coloured ticks indicate that Warthog is present in a respective species. ‘D’ refers to degenerate Wart domain sequences. ‘*’ refers to the abnormal wrt-4 complement in Pristionchus pacificus which has four bona fide wrt-4 orthologues and four degenerate wrt-4 sequences. b Phylogram was generated from a multiple sequence alignment of Wart domains (Additional file 1: Fig. 1), including C. elegans paralogues (stars) and orthologues from selected nematode species. Wart clades are colour coded. Species abbreviations: Tnat, Trichinella nativa; Tmur, Trichinella murelli; TspT6, Trichinella sp. T6; TspT8, Trichinella sp. T8; TspT9, Trichinella sp. T9; Tpap, Trichinella papuae; Tpat, Trichinella patagoniensis; Tnel, Trichinella nelsoni; Tpseudo, Trichinella pseudospiralis; Trchrs_su, Trichuris suis; Ts, Trichinella spiralis; Bm, Brugia malayi; As, Ascaris suum; Tc, Toxocara canis; Sr, Strongyloides ratti; Pp, Pristionchus pacificus; Cbre, Caenorhabditis brenneri; Cbri, C. briggsae; Cr, C. remanei; Ce, C. elegans. ‘As_WRT-M’ is our given name to the Warthog in A. suum which did not robustly cluster into any of the Wart clades. Node values indicate posterior probabilities for each split. The scale bar indicates average branch length measured in expected substitutions per site
