Nevertheless, this short protein stores enormous evolutionary information, which made possible the fairly good approximation, shown in the figure, to the evolutionary history of 20 very diverse species over a period longer than one billion years.
Those EC proteins with atypical apicomplexan export signatures (e.g. VAR, RIF, PHIST genes) are not shared with chromerids and they were gained at a later stage (after stage III, as depicted in Figure 2) of the evolutionary innovations in apicomplexan parasites.
This is now mentioned in the legend of Figure 2. 5) The evolutionary context provided for this study is a bit naïve, sometimes wrong (e.g. first two sentences of the Introduction).
Another intriguing characteristic of Sireviruses is the presence of a variety of highly conserved sequence motifs within their extremely divergent genome (Additional file 1: Figure S1), regardless of the evolutionary distance between their hosts.
In Figure 1C, the evolutionary scenario of the modern grass genomes deriving from a n = 5 ancestor is illustrated [ 66].
Figure 2A shows estimates of the evolutionary changes of the number of OR genes when the currently popular mammalian phylogenetic tree is used.
Figure 2 summarizes the evolutionary relationships of NANOGP8 with these two haplotypes of NANOG, portraying the relative times of occurrence for the two principal variants that are evidently fixed in NANOGP8 (c.144G > A and c.759G > C), and deletion *552 *573del in NANOGP8 and its parent allele.
This implies that leaves which lose their chlorophyll and reveal and/or accumulate non-green pigments (carotenoids in all groups, anthocyanins arising with the cryptogams and angiosperms – Figure 21) are the evolutionary progenitors of the highly coloured flowers, fruits and seeds of dicots and monocots.
Figure 3 shows the evolutionary dynamics of viral genomes in subject Ch_240 and the distribution of cooccurring genomic mutations and their relationship with viral diversity and T-cell responses.
Figure 1 shows the evolutionary conserved region 5' of the coding sequence of STK11 as identified by the phylogenetic foot-printing programs ECR Browser [ 15] and CONSITE [ 16].
