Figure 2

Bayesian major consensus tree of the relationship between AvBD genes found in the chicken and zebra finch genome. Genes in blue ending with z denote lineages found in the zebra finch genome and genes marked in red and a c-suffix denotes genes found in the chicken genome. Posterior probabilities are displayed at the branches and corresponding bootstrap values above 50 obtained from neighbour-joining method is displayed in brackets). Highlighted Cluster A and B refer to two clusters of duplicated genes, presumably originating from the genes AvBD1 and 3 (see arrows). Genes with identical signal peptides are noted with similar triangles to the right of the sequence name. The tree is calculated as unrooted and then rooted on mid-point.
