Conserved synteny of the wcs2 genes. The phylogenetic relationships among marsupials and the evolutionary time scale are based on TimeTree (33, 53). The solid and open circles indicate that the wcs2 gene homologs were identified by BLASTp and BLASTn/tBLASTn, respectively. The gene synteny of wcs2 is shown near the corresponding species. A gene with a premature stop codon or frameshift mutation is labeled with an asterisk.
