Fig. 6: Phylogeny of Cardinal gene homology arms.

From: Genetic and geographic population structure in the malaria vector, Anopheles farauti, provides a candidate system for pioneering confinable gene-drive releases

Fig. 6

The above figure represents a Maximum Likelihood phylogeny which was generated from sequence data of An. farauti, An. hinesorum and An. irenicus which is homologous to homology arms used in an An. gambiae gene drive system. Node values represent support from 1000 bootstrap replicates. Most An. farauti samples are coloured by broad geographic region (Solomon Archipelago – blue; Australia and New Guinea – green), as these regions were found to form monophyletic clades. However, individuals sampled from populations in Vanuatu and Manus Islands form monophyletic groups within the Solomon Archipelago clade and are coloured in the same way as they are throughout the manuscript. Anopheles irenicus and An. punctulatus are both monophyletic and coloured black, while An. hinesorum is shown in red.
