Fig. 2: A maximum likelihood tree of PCPDP-like sequences shows a clade of centipede sequences nested within a paraphyletic backbone of bacterial sequences.

From: Phylogenetic analyses suggest centipede venom arsenals were repeatedly stocked by horizontal gene transfer

Fig. 2

It shows that the centipede sequences originated from a bacterial HGT into the lithobiomorph lineage. Centipede sequences are coloured red. Highlighted sequences are Bacteria (pink), Viridiplantae (cyan), Protozoa (purple), Euryarchaeota (brown), and Fungi (yellow). Metazoan sequences are not highlighted. Collapsed clades have the number of included sequences indicated in parentheses. For the uncollapsed tree see Supplementary Fig. 2. The tree was reconstructed using the VT + G4 model and is displayed as midpoint rooted. Bootstrap support values are shown for each clade, and clades with support <50% are collapsed into polytomies. Clades without bootstrap values have >95% support. Non-centipede images are sourced from Phylopic (www.phylopic.org).
