Bootstrap values are given and the 3 orthology groups are indicated on the right (Sonic, Shh; Indian, Ihh; and Desert, Dhh). <b>C</b> is an amino-acid alignment of lamprey Hh proteins with gnathostome family members. The functional domains (HH signal and Hint domain) are indicated, as well as the exon (E) junction positions (e., g., E1/E2). The regions corresponding to <i>Hha</i>- and <i>Hhb</i>-specific <i>in situ</i> hybridization probes used in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0013332#pone-0013332-g003" target="_blank">Figure 3</a> are also indicated, as well as the previously isolated <i>Lf</i> probe used in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0013332#pone.0013332-Osorio2" target="_blank">[23]</a>.</p> 2010-10-13 01:21:03 Evolutionary biology computational biology/comparative sequence analysis developmental biology/neurodevelopment evolutionary biology/developmental evolution evolutionary biology/genomics
