Fig. 3: Preliminary phylogenetic tree of the Discoba Major intrinsic proteins (MIPs) superfamily.

a Cladogram showing the current accepted evolutionary relations inside the Discoba supergroup36,77,78. Genera and species present in this cladogram correspond to those with genome/transcriptome data analyzed in the current work. Parasitic species or genera are indicated by full black circles superscripts. b Discoba MIPs preliminary phylogenetic tree reconstructed by maximum likelihood. Branch support was assessed by the ultrafast bootstrap (UF) approximation with 10,000 replicates and the SH-aLRT with 1000 replicates. Accessions were shaded following the same color code of the cladogram in a. Dashed lines represent transcriptome retrieved sequences and each MIP clade is referenced by a number.
