Figure 4From: Phylogenomic analyses of malaria parasites and evolution of their exported proteinsPhylogenetic relationships inferred using three subsets of proteins with varying evolutionary rates. The proteins used for the initial phylogenetic inference were categorized into three subsets each comprising 65 proteins: (A) Slow-evolving proteins (tree lengths of less than two expected substitutions per site); 13,670 aa of 50,332 aa (51%) were used for ML inference. (B) Proteins evolving at an intermediate speed (tree lengths of two or more but less than four expected substitutions per site); 14,967 aa of 27,063 aa (30%) were used for ML inference. (C) Fast-evolving-proteins (tree lengths of four or more expected substitutions per site); 12,021 aa of 96,774 aa (12%) were used for ML inference. T. gondii, C. parvum, T. annulata, and B. bovis were used to root the trees. Numbers at the nodes denote bootstrap support values; scale bars are equal to 0.05 expected substitutions per site.Back to article page
