Phylogenetic analysis of all NOD Ly49. Ly49 cDNA sequences from NOD, B6, BALB/c, and 129S6 mice, including artificially spliced cDNAs from non-transcribed pseudogenes, were aligned using ClustalX. Bootstrap analysis was performed on 1000 data sets with PHYLIP and the final consensus phylogram was visualized with TreeExplorer. The percentage bootstrap values are given for major branchpoints. The Ly49 family of genes can be subdivided into the D, L, A, G, Q, E, H, and C-related groups. The scale bar indicates the percentage of divergence between cDNAs.
