The evolution of protostome GATA factors: Molecular phylogenetics, synteny, and intron/exon structure reveal orthologous relationships-1

Esents emergence of the last common bilaterian, pancrustacean, and insect ancestors. The red text represents points of intron/exon modifications, while the grey box describes the timing of gene duplication events. Intron/exon structures represent the inferred state for each paralog in the last common insect ancestor.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "The evolution of protostome GATA factors: Molecular phylogenetics, synteny, and intron/exon structure reveal orthologous relationships"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/8/112</p><p>BMC Evolutionary Biology 2008;8():112-112.</p><p>Published online 15 Apr 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2383905.</p><p>
