Phylogeny of speckle-type POZ-like (SPOP-like) genes. Amino acid sequences for predicted SPOP-like genes from 14 nematodes species, spanning five evolutionary clades (as defined by Blaxter et al.32), were used to construct a phylogeny. SPOP-like genes are highlighted for S. venezuelensis (red) and S. papillosus (blue); genes for all other species are shown in black. A gene cluster present in all 14 species is shown with a green background highlight (A). Genes upregulated in the transcriptome of the parasitic adult female, compared with the free-living adult female, are shown with background highlighting for S. venezuelensis and S. papillosus (pink background (B), excluding genes shown with a white spot). Scale bar represents average amino acid substitutions per site. *Represents branch support values greater than 70, for 100 bootstraps. Gene names for all genes used to build this phylogenetic tree are shown in Supplementary Fig. S6.
