From: Persistence of the ABCC6 genes and the emergence of the bony skeleton in vertebrates
Dendrogram representing the ABCC6, ABCC1 and ABCC3 genes identified in deuterostomes. Gene family members are represented by different colours and shapes and the number of genes found is indicated. Open symbols represent genes that were not identified but are likely to exist and half circles the ABCC6 pseudogenes. Dashed symbols indicate uncertain identity and dashed circles represent abcc6 absence. The figure was drawn considering the relative evolutionary relationship between the different species represented using information from77,78,79,80. The two major genome duplication events (1R and 2R) that occurred early in the vertebrate radiation and the teleost specific genome duplication event (3R) are indicated. Gene accession numbers are available from Supplementary Tables 1 and 2.
