Phylogenetic tree comparing the major capsid protein of phage MIJ3 (red) with its corresponding in other jumbo phages, including Rak2-like phages (blue). Phages were selected as they share homology with the amino acid sequences of the major capsid using Blastp. Phage T4 was selected as an outgroup phage that is not closely related to the corresponding sequence of MIJ3. The evolutionary history was inferred using the neighbor-joining method and the tree was constructed using MEGA7.
