Figure 1. Full-genome evidence resolves metazoan relationships and verifies the monophyly of lophotrochozoans and spiralians.

Figure 1

a, A protein tree inferred from 299,129 amino acid positions gathered from 827 slow-evolving orthologues using RAxML and modelling heterogeneity of substitution processes using a LG + Γ4 model with each gene partitioned. Strong support is obtained for the monophyly of lophotrochozoans. b, Intron tree obtained from a matrix of 5,377 introns analysed using MrBayes and an asymmetric binary model (probability of gain: 0.01). c, Indel tree reconstructed from a matrix of 1,928 indel sites using a regular binary model. Circles at nodes indicate a bootstrap support of >0.90 (a) or a posterior probability of >0.95 (b and c). In b and c, arrows indicate species that do not follow the protein family tree topology.
