The tree was constructed with the maximum likelihood (ML) method using PhyloSuite. Bootstrap support values are indicated by sizes on nodes of phylogenetic tree. Three rings from the outside to inside show the effector CASP protein (green, blue and purple rectangle represent CARD, P20 and P10 domain), the class of Mollusca to which the sequence belongs (red, blue and green represent Bivalvia, Gastropoda and Cephalopoda, respectively), sequence name (background colors represent different phyla) and branch color (red, green and blue represent the Caspase-3/7 like, Caspase-6 like and Caspase-3/6/7 like cluster). The clusters of Bivalvia and Gastropoda novel caspase-3/6/7 genes are marked with red text.
