From: RNA-seq analysis of the salivary glands and midgut of the Argasid tick Ornithodoros rostratus
Evolutionary relationships of Ornithodoros rostratus acid tail proteins. The evolutionary history of the O. rostratus acid tail proteins were inferred using the Neighbour-Joining method. The optimal tree with the sum of branch length = 11.45 is shown. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (10000 replicates) are shown next to the branches. The analysis involved 17 amino acid sequences. All ambiguous positions were removed for each sequence pair. There was a total of 334 positions in the final dataset. Red triangles indicate specific salivary gland (SG) overexpressed transcripts, red diamonds indicate transcripts overexpressed in SG in comparison to midgut (MG) and green diamonds indicate low expression in both tissues. Oros = Ornithodoros rostratus; Opar = O. parkeri; Obra = O. brasiliensis, Ocor = O. coriaceus. SG transcripts per million (TPM) is indicated within round brackets.
