—Molecular evolution and expression of DAGL and lazaro/wunen. In lepidopterans, orthologs of Drosophila melanogaster DAGLα and lazaro are missing. Other gene family members may be playing a similar role in lepidopterans. (A) DAGL phylogenetic tree generated using amino acid sequences from eight insect genomes and Homo sapiens and M. musculus. Phylogenetic label colors follow those of figure 3. (B) Expression of DAGL genes in Manduca sexta heads (n = 8) and Heliconius melpomene heads (n = 8). (C) Wunen phylogenetic tree generated using amino acid sequences from eight insect genomes. (D) Expression of wunen genes in M. sexta heads (n = 8, orange) and H. melpomene heads (n = 8, red) measured using RNA-Seq. The y axis is in transcripts per million on a log2 scale. Bars indicate standard errors.
