Presence/absence of TRIM52 in primates. We evaluated TRIM52 from a range of Hominoids, Old World monkeys, and New World monkeys, using sequences collected from 1) Ensembl (Flicek et al. 2012) and GenBank and via 2) PCR. Primates surveyed by our analysis are presented in a guide tree of the well-accepted primate phylogeny (Perelman et al. 2011). 3) We were unable to amplify TRIM52 from the gibbon lineage of Hominoids (represented by dotted branches), despite the use of primers that we used to amplify orthologs from other Hominoids and Old World monkeys. Grayed branches represent lineages where we observed TRIM52 to be pseudogenized.
