Extended Data Fig. 5: Molecular phylogenetic analysis of chordate Hmx sequences and alignment of lamprey Hmx sequences.
From: Hmx gene conservation identifies the origin of vertebrate cranial ganglia
a. This phylogenetic analysis includes Hmx sequences from amphioxus and Ciona. The analysis was conducted using the Maximum Likelihood method and numbers indicate percentage node support out of 1000 bootstraps. b. Lamprey HmxA, HmxB and HmxC nucleotide sequence alignment. The translation shows the identical homeodomain amino-acid sequence encoded by all three genes. HmxA and HmxC share additional nucleotide sequence identity before and after the homeodomain encoding sequence. Nucleotide sequences are from the lamprey Lethenteron camtschaticum.
